Ok, that makes sense.  The IRIX compiler isn't properly parsing all those nested structs.  Un-nesting them will help:

Code:

static pkg_tuple_t data = {
    .key = "pc_path",
};

static pkg_node_t head = {
    .prev = NULL,
    .next = NULL,
    .data = &data,
};

static pkg_list_t vars = {
    .head = &head,
    .tail = NULL,
};

static pkg_t pkg_config_virtual = {
    .id = "pkg-config",
    .realname = "pkg-config",
    .description = "virtual package defining pkg-config API version supported",
    .url = PACKAGE_BUGREPORT,
    .version = PKG_PKGCONFIG_VERSION_EQUIV,
    .flags = PKG_PROPF_VIRTUAL,
    .vars = &vars,
};

That will compile with MIPSPro.

Update:  the package tests all fail due to using shell syntax not supported by /bin/sh on IRIX.  I used Bash instead to run the testsuite and ALL tests passed.

Nice lemme see if I can get later versions building now and I'll find a stable version to fork and keep in our own repo.

I had to put PACKAGE_BUGREPORT in double quotes for it to work, but otherwise yep, flawless. I'll be applying similar patches to later versions and trying them out as well. Thank you for your hard work as always in helping me figure this out.
