It is not necessary to link with -lmpc to get native
threads on IRIX. I do not recall a time when this
library was needed, but it was certainly prior to the
release of IRIX 6.5 (in 1998). I propose removing
references to this library, as is done in the following
patch against Python 2.2.3.

According to PEP 11, only Irix 4 support will get dropped,
and only in Python 2.4. So Irix 5 is still supposed to work,
and this patch is unacceptable unless there is confirmation
that the patch does work on Irix 5.

Of course, we can deprecate Irix 5 and mpc support now, i.e.
give a warning in Python 2.4, and remove the code in Python
2.5. Then we would need to make sure whether all Irix 6
releases work with this patch.

Closing this for lack of feedback.
