I think gcc 2.95.2 only tries to build libstdc++ statically so this may be somewhat of a non-issue (except that the resulting ecosconfig may be a bit plump). > This is something I should be able to handle, though.

I can't honestly say it is a certainty - but it's one of the first things I'd try; or at least I'd say building gcc is easier than debugging libcdl :). I was rather hoping another Alpha linux user would pipe up though. Jifl -- Red Hat, 35 Cambridge Place, Cambridge, UK.
