There were some known problems with IRIX in 3.1.5, which were worse with
dynamically loaded libraries but seemed to show up anyway, to do with name
clashes; I don't quite see how your probablem could be related, but IRIX
seems to do some weird things.  They're not in a production release yet.
Have you tried the latest development code?  You can get it at

Thanks, that seems to work.

Just out of curiosity: I compiled it once with --enable-dynamic and
once without. The file size of the dynamic version is larger than the
static version. Why is that?
