`configure` defines FANCY_CURSES if the following 9 symbols are
available in your curses headers/library:

  A_BLINK
  A_BOLD
  A_DIM
  A_REVERSE
  A_UNDERLINE
  attroff
  attrset
  keypad
  wattrset

So, which are missing under IRIX?  A_BLINK is only actually needed by
the color styles code, which you are presumably not turning on, if you
can't get color to work at all...

An easy way to answer this: change "/* #undef FANCY_CURSES ... */" to
"#define FANCY_CURSES 1" in lynx_cfg.h; `make`; see if any symbols are
not found.
