Try doing xmkmf -a instead of the make Makefiles. But the real problem
is that your imake setup is trying to use gcc (GNU C) instead of cc
(SGI C). The options passed to gcc here are really for cc. You really
need to correct your imake setup, but you *might* get away with
saying
    % xmkmf -a
    % make CC=cc

I get fvwm2 to compile very cleanly using cc on Irix 5.3/6.1/6.2.
