Hi

I've been using lang/gcc42 on alpha for more than a year now.
My calculation shows that the port was updated 25 times during
last year. Each time I upgraded the port with no problem, except
for as failure, which happens on my i386 just the same:
 
+pid 3154 (as), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
+pid 3160 (as), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
+pid 33039 (as), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
+pid 33045 (as), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

Accordingly I wonder why lang/gcc42 is still marked
NOT_FOR_ARCHS=  alpha 

Are there other alpha users who have trouble with this port?

If you don't think removing NOT_FOR_ARCHS is justified,
perhaps you could change it to

.if !defined(NOT_FOR_ARCHS)
NOT_FOR_ARCHS=  alpha 
.endif

so that I can put NOT_FOR_ARCHS= '' in my make.conf and avoid
having to edit the Makefile each upgrade.

many thanks
anton
