+In IRIX 5.3 and with Perl 5.8.1 (Perl 5.8.0 didn't compile in IRIX 5.3)
+the following failures are known.
+
+ Failed Test                  Stat Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of Failed
+ --------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ ../ext/List/Util/t/shuffle.t    0   139    ??   ??       %  ??
+ ../lib/sort.t                   0   138   119   72  60.50%  48-119
+ 54 tests and 430 subtests skipped.
+ Failed 2/767 test scripts, 99.74% okay. 72/70246 subtests failed, 99.90% okay.
+
+They are suspected to be compiler errors (at least the shuffle.t failure is
+known from some IRIX 6 setups), but since IRIX 5 is long since end-of-lifed,
+fixes for the IRIX compiler are unlikely.  If you can get gcc for 5.3,
+you could try that, too, since gcc in IRIX 6 is a known workaround for
+these failures.
