Why do you need to know if it's IRIX?  There probably isn't an autoconf
test since the philosophy of autoconf is to test for features and not
platforms. Have you looked on ac-archive for a test for the feature/bug you
need to detect? (http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive)

According to the man page the correct invocation is:

gcc -E -dM <sourcefile.c>
