I think we should try to get this fixed in upstream. If there's an IRIX work-around, then it shuold be a compile-time decision and only enabled on IRIX, right?
It won't help the problem in the short term, as fixed/updated glib would first have to dissipate through their next release, get picked up by distributions, etc. - but sooner or later somebody else will run into the same trap, with glib disabling POLERR on Linux and thus destroying quite a bit of capability the operating system offers.
