The key to your problem is in the first three error messages you got:

I note that configure was able to find "ranlib", but I'm pretty sure
that SGI doesn't have ranlib, so the most likely problem is that you
have a GNU ranlib on your path that doesn't actually work with SGI's
library format.  Another possibility is that you have a GNU ar on your
path ahead of the system ar and that doesn't actually work with SGI's
libarary format.  A remote possiblity is that your gcc is broken.
