Oops... I just found it in my PROBLEMS file:

    - SGI Irix 6.5.22m, ./configure fails with:
        ...
        loading cache .././config.cache
        ./configure[588]: syntax error at line 73 : `{' unmatched

      Work-around: install fw_bash and set CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/freeware/bin/bash
      (environment variable) for the configure run.

It might in fact be a problem with /bin/sh (being broken) on some versions
of Irix...
