Absolutely, I would prefer an addition to a readme or so. Maybe we could issue a warning at the end of the configure run if the platform is alpha (linux?) and CC is not gcc? > Maybe in one of the README.platform files. That's also Linux?

Yes, it's linux, I couldn't test on Tru64 because there is an installation problem on the machine I have access to and DEC's cc doesn't like itself.
