Fileutils is now called coreutils and required gnulib. Findutils also requires gnulib. > Or is findutils 4.2.23 the end of the road for IRIX5? If you have a c89-compliant system, which I guess IRIX5+gcc is, then I believe that gnulib will continue to support it. So, if we can get a tested patch to the one file that doesn't compile, so that the code builds on IRIX5, there's every chance to continue supporting IRIX5 in findutils-4.2.28 and/or findutils-4.3.0. Because I don't have access to an IRIX5 box, I can't test a patch so I'm relying on you to do that.
