Are you in a position to test build PAR against a 32 bit Perl on IRIX?
If so, does it pass tests?
It may be that there's some C code in PAR that is subtly buggy because it's
relying on what's actually undefined behaviour. I've got bitten by how SGI's
compiler in 64 bit mode (quite correctly) behaves when doing signed integer
overflow on 32 bit types.
