"On September 6, 2006, an SGI press release announced the end of the
MIPS and IRIX product lines.[7] Production ended on December 29, 2006,
with final deliveries in March 2007, except by special
arrangement. Support for these products ended in December 2013 and they
will receive no further updates."

GCC 4.8.x from 2011 was the last release with official support for IRIX.
