MIPSPro and the predecessor compiler which was part of the IDO (IRIS Development Option) were only ever shipped on the SGI IRIX operating system (with MIPSPro on 6.0+ which was released in 1994). Limit the autoconf check to IRIX when probing for these compilers to save some cycles on other platforms.

Is this a feature, waiting for the next window, or a fix? I don't have strong opinions, I think there is an argument to be made for both. |

I consider it a bugfix. |

If this is accepted then it can be expanded to cover other heavily platform-dependent options as well, but I prefer to start somewhere (with something I know, being a survivor from the IRIX days).
