This would be a means of bootstraping, namely loading the working 386 compiler, using it to configure and compile an alpha-NT compiler, then (still running under FX!32) run the alpha compiler on the configured code to get alpha-native binaries. Not a chance. Basic programs work, but forking just doesn't and most everything of use in the GNU toolchain does forks. too bad. So the next question becomes, "Can I cross compile from my Linux/SPARC the whole kit, or at least the compiler?" By hook or by crook, I'm gonna get this to work. -- Steve Williams steve AT icarus DOT com steve AT picturel DOT com "The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
