Hi Marchelm,

Since it seems you were able to build egcs-1.1.2 on DEC alpha
OSF/1 4.0e, I wanted to ask how you configured it to do so;
i.e.:
 - what compiler on the alpha did you use to build egcs?
 - what compiler flags did you use with that compiler?
 - did you use GNU as and ld, or /usr/ccs/bin{as,ld} on the
alpha?
 - did you pass any flags to 'configure' when you ran it?
The reason I am asking is that I am trying to build egcs 1.1.2
on DEC alpha OSF/1 4.0a, and I keep running into nasty problems
such as ld crashing due to a memory fault. I am wondering what I
am missing in my environment to make this build successfully,
and was hoping you had some info that could help me out.

Thanks for your time and help,

-C.
