Hi Ayaz, Unless there is a very specific need to run Alpha, as a user you’re better off using ARM or X86: better gem5 support, up-to-date kernels, latest tool chains, Android support etc.

The built cross compiler version is gcc 4.8.5 with linux kernel 3.18 headers. The problem is that the generated binaries with this cross compiler fail to run on gem5 (fault is raised saying "tried to access unmapped address") in SE mode. The binaries generated with alpha cross compiler on gem5's website work fine. I have also changed the uname related syscall implementation in gem5 for alpha (to return correct kernel release no.). Actually I get "no .eh_frame_hdr table will be created" error from compiler when I compile alpha programs. But, according to my understanding this should not effect the functionality of binaries. Also, the compiled binaries work fine with qemu-alpha. I wonder if someone has successfully used recent gcc version for alpha with gem5? I will appreciate your time !
