Thanks for the reports.
Currently each of the other issues is some bit of work to fix, and
IRIX 5.3 is low priority for me (it was released ca. in 1993..1994, and
is superseded by IRIX 6 since 1998). Therefore I'm not doing more than
to document the issues.
If you have time, feel free to propose patches for the issues (one by one).
Or use "gnulib-tool --avoid=getpwnam_r --avoid=poll ..." to avoid the known
non-working modules when building a testdir.
