Conflicts under Irix.

The ABI flag (-32/-n32/-64) is only a problem in the smbwrapper stuff
The smbwrapper shared library must be same ABI as the executable it operates
with
and on some Irix 6.x machines the system supplied utilities are -32 ABI
binaries.

Try doing a "file /sbin/ls".  I get 

Irix 6.2 R10000	/sbin/ls:		ELF 32-bit MSB mips-2 dynamic
executable MIPS - version 1
Irix 6.2 R5000	/sbin/ls:		ELF 32-bit MSB mips-2 dynamic
executable MIPS - version 1
Irix 6.2 R4400	/sbin/ls:		ELF 32-bit MSB mips-2 dynamic
executable MIPS - version 1
Irix 6.4 R10000	/sbin/ls:		ELF N32 MSB mips-3 dynamic
executable MIPS - version 1
