Then crosstool will not help.  Sorry.  It doesn't
know anything about OSF/1.

Oh, so you're not really running OSF/1, and you don't
care about the C library.  In that case, um, maybe
you can use crosstool.  You may need to munge its
output files using objcopy, though, if Linux/Alpha
has a different object format than OSF/1 (which it probably does).

Wouldn't it be simpler to use the compiler the simplescalar people ship?

Or maybe the newer ones from MIRV at
