Seems straightforward to me, at least in this case...

This is right, of course.

This is "wrong", of course.

I don't have an Irix system nor have I received any reports like this.
It looks to me like the Irix version thinks you have the make -e
command-line option set. Are you sure you haven't set MAKEFLAGS to -e
in your Irix login environment or something similar to that?
