Re: Alpha Cross compiler

[Mahshid Sedghi <mahshid dot sedghy at gmail dot com>]

I'm trying to build alpha binaries for a MapReduce framework for
multi-cores called Phoenix++. Phoenix++ is a multi-threaded
application and supports atomic operations like test_and_set and
fetch_and_inc. In fact, these are the operations that are implemented
as inline assembly code.
