The Irix VM is a 2.6 VM. It is located at
http://hobart.cs.umass.edu/~swan/IRIXSqueakVM.bin

I just built a 2.7 VM under Irix 6.5. I got a whole bunch of warnings of
the form 

gnu-interp.c:244: warning: decimal constant is so large that it is
unsigned

and a core dump, but it built and it seems to work. 

Both VM's can be found at hobart.cs.umass.edu/~swan/
