Hi,
When EGCS-971215 configures by default it gets my system as :
alphaev56-unknown-linux-gnu; unofrtunatly it then fails to build with the
Error: macro requires $at register while noat in effect
problem (even in binutils-2.8.1.0.15).
Another problem I had was that compiling some of my own code I got:
'string too long' from the assembler; it turned out to be a string over 4K
in length from a .stabs directive describing a rbtree from the Standard
Template Library. Is this an EGCS or binutils problem?
Dave
P.S. kde is now built and seems to be OK - but the web browser is being a
little tempremental.

I don't know whether this problem is due to a bug in as or failing
to give as the proper command line option to enable the instructions.
However, with the 971225 snapshot, we now emit a .arch directive, which
will certainly cure the later, and, due to the fact that you must
upgrade to at least 2.8.1.0.18, perhaps the former as well.

This is an assembler problem. Which I thought I'd fixed (or kludged
around) long ago... If it still happens after your binutils upgrade,
let me know.

As stated in my mail to another list; 2.8.1.0.18 now fixes this.

Yep - I've just tried my code - 2.8.1.0.18 fixes that as well!
Great work!
