i said, i tested on ppc/amd64 linux hosts cross-compiling for the

considering how hard it is to run `make check` i dont think it matters ... 
here, lemme give you some copy & paste code:
tar xf binutils-2.17.tar.bz2
cd binutils-2.17
mkdir build
cd build
../configure --target=alpha-linux-gnu
make
make check

if yours passes `make check` then i simply assume my hosts are hosed and move 
on
