It won't work. GCC on Alpha doesn't support thread safe exception
handling, so you will get random crashes. There's no point fixing any
build issues until the compiler can generate working code. This page

  http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#alpha*-dec-osf*

says there's a patch in preparation, so I guess support might happen
soon.

Cheers,

Duncan.
