"Note that since the Alpha is a 64-bit architecture, cross-compilers from 32-bit machines will not generate code as efficient as that generated when the compiler is running on a 64-bit machine because many optimizations that depend on being able to represent a word on the target in an integral value on the host cannot be performed. Building cross-compilers on the Alpha for 32-bit machines has only been tested in a few cases and may not work properly. " This is false lately, eh? Can it be amended to note what versions it was possibly true for and what versions it is definitely false for? In particular, I /assume/ it is false for any version that uses gmp. Thanks, - Jay
