    Alessandro>   --cflags` `gtk-config --libs` -L/usr/lib32

All of the warnings look normal to me except the first.  (BTW.  Are you
using GNU ld and the other GNU binutils or the IRIX versions?)

    Alessandro> ld: WARNING 84: /usr/lib32/libaudiofile.so is not used  \

ld (any flavor) is order sensitive (objects and libraries must come in
the right order; the order of -I options is significant; the order of
-L options is significant; mixing those three kinds of arguments
doesn't matter, I think; GNU ld also has some other rarer options that
also introduce order dependencies).  I suspect that if you get the
order of `gtkprova.o audio.o -laudiofile -laudioutil' right not only
does this warning go away but so do the `unresolved text symbol'
errors.
