 ** Irix 6.5
 
-  It *may* be possible to build Emacs on Irix 6.5 with an old version
-  (3.1) of gcc.  Newer versions of gcc may not work.  None of the
-  current Emacs developers use Irix, though.  If you want to help
-  make Emacs on Irix work, see <http://debbugs.gnu.org/9684>.
+  Emacs versions later than 24.4 will not compile on Irix by default.
+  (Note that SGI stopped supporting Irix in December 2013.)
+  You should be able to work around the problem either by porting the
+  Emacs undumping code to GCC under Irix, or by configuring --with-wide-int.
+  Older versions of Emacs 24 (and 23?) also had problems on Irix.
+  It *may* be possible to build Emacs <= 24.4 on Irix 6.5 with an old
+  version (3.1) of gcc.  Newer versions of gcc may not work.
+  See <http://debbugs.gnu.org/9684>.
