The __eprintf function comes from libgcc.a.  If you let gcc call ld on
your behalf, it should do the right thing.

I'm not sure how unresolved references to it popped up in your
libtiff.a, though; gcc should produce static libraries which have no
specific dependencies on gcc.  Perhaps someone who is more intimately
familiar with Irix can comment.
