I tried this morning on an Alphastation 600 at work (running NetBSD-current) and failed miserably. I eventually got it through to compiling the libraries, but ran into a problem in lib/libc/gen/nlist.c, which assumes Elf32, which doesn't quite work on the Alpha. I'm assuming that all that needs to be done is replace Elf32 with Elf64, but are there any other gotchas out there? Has anyone tried this of late? Judging by the problems I ran into, I don't think so :) Thanks, Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
