Are you using gcc or some other non-SGI compiler? The 5.3 compiler should recognize "-o32", which just tells it to build an old-style 32-bit binary (as opposed to, say, a 64-bit binary). If you're using gcc, just remove the -o32 option from the makefile(s).

The 5.3 machine I'm looking at has version 3.19 of the compiler, which may be newer than the version you have. If your version of the compiler is 3.18 or 3.17, it looks like those versions did not understand "-o32", but did understand "-32bit".

If you're using SGI IDO, you could send me the exact error message you get and the output from "versions c_dev.sw c_eoe.sw" if the above doesn't answer your question.
