It should be looking in /usr/freeware/lib32 (IRIX peculiarity) -- so
the immediate fix is to change the configure script here as well as
I did for xetex.  Obviously, until I catch this in an option the
change is not something that can be checked in.

Thanks for spotting this, it completely explains the build failure.
