It's most likely the SGI ABI problem.
IDL used to be a o32 binary, so any external code had to be built
using the -o32 compiler flag. I cannot remember which version
was the first to become N32, 5.1 was o32 and 5.2.1 is n32, but I
don't know what 5.2 is.
You can check by the command :
file /usr/local/rsi/idl_5.2/bin/bin.sgi/idl
If is is listed as ELF 32-bit MSB then you need to build the DLMs
with the -o32 flag.
All I had to change to build the testmodule DLM was to change the
IRIX to IRIX64 in the Makefile. My default compiler options are
abi=n32:isa=mips3:proc=r4k and this worked with IDL 5.2.1.
