It should compile :) stdcxx does, at least until it gets to time_put.cpp
where MIPSpro dies with an ICE. See
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-22

You might want to try to do a build with stdcxx and compare the command
line and config.h with the one you're using. I suspect you'll find a few
differences one of which will likely be the cause of your problem.

PS Here's info on how to download stdcxx:
