Well, if you took this release promptly, you were in for a nasty
surprise, as your machine would fail to attach system packs due to
/bin/athena/attach depending on shared libraries in /usr/athena/lib.
This problem is fixed now, and you should be able to update IRIX
machines safely. If your SGI broke, just copy in a new attach binary
from the packs and reboot.
