OK.  It's coming from src/s/iris5-0.h:


/* Because unexelfsgi.c cannot handle a ".sbss" section yet, we must
   tell the linker to avoid making one.  SGI's cc does this by
   default, but GCC (at least 2.5.8 and 2.6.0) doesn't. */
#ifdef __GNUC__
#define LD_SWITCH_SYSTEM "-G 0"
#endif


So this is a question for the SGI gurus out there...
