I forgot to mention that I tried to build it as per the README as
follows:

   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gnu
   make

I did the prefix so that the planned install wouldn't inadvertently
wipe out anything else.

The relevant version info is:

redhat 4.2
kernel 2.0.30 + patches:
   alpha-patches-2.0.30-0.2a.gz from 
   ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Linux-Alpha/em86/v0.2/kernel-patches/
   and 
   ap-0.2-fixes-1.diff from
   ftp://genie.ucd.ie/pub/alpha/kernel/alpha-patchset.tar.gz 
gcc-2.7.2.1-2c (gcc from Redhat rpm 2.7.2.1-2) + patches:
   Richard Henderson's large stack frame patch.
   A profiling patch posted to axp-list by Toon Moene.
/lib/libc.so.6 + patches:
   David Mosberger's patches to libc_p, but I guess that's not
   relevant.
GNU assembler version 2.7 (alpha-unknown-linux), using BFD version 2.7.0.2
ld version 2.7 (with BFD 2.7.0.2)
(ldd doesn't support -v, but locate ld.so gives me:
   /etc/ld.so.cache
   /etc/ld.so.conf
   /home/ftp/lib/ld.so.1
   /lib/ld.so.1
and rpm -qf /lib/ld.so.1 gives me:
   glibc-0.961212-5

Just discovered this from someone else, but gas 2.7.0.2 is broken.
You can't get proper byte/word instructions out of it.  And it isn't
easy to upgrade, so I'll tell you to just use alphaev5-*-*-* as your
config target.

Upgrade to Red Hat 5.0 when it comes out next week; it's got a new
glibc and a new binutils.

It dies somewhere else now:

   hjstein@blaster:~/egcs-971122$ ./configure --host=alphaev5-unknown-linux-gnulibc1 --prefix=/usr/local/gnu
   Created "Makefile" in /home/hjstein/egcs-971122
   Links are now set up to build a native compiler for alphaev5-unknown-linux-gnulibc1
   hjstein@blaster:~/egcs-971122$ make
   ...
   /home/hjstein/egcs-971122/gcc/xgcc -B/home/hjstein/egcs-971122/gcc/ -c -g -O2 -I. -I. -D_G_HAVE_MMAP iogetc.c
   In file included from iogetc.c:26:
   libioP.h:31: bits/libc-lock.h: No such file or directory
   make[1]: *** [iogetc.o] Error 1
   make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hjstein/egcs-971122/libraries/libio'
   make: *** [all-target-libio] Error 2

I guess I'll have to wait for RH5.0 as you suggested...
