are there other binary formats (than n32) that work for pd externals? (why are n32 preferred?). Sorry, but my irix experience is very limited and lies far in the past....
There are n32 and o32 formats. o32 is 'old' 32bit code and n32 is 'new' 32bit code. What the exact difference is I do not know, but the performance impact is big. In general n32 is just faster.
o32 external work on Irix, but they require that PD is compiled as o32 binary aswell :-(
