 Should I do something else than replying to all recipients of your mail?

 I finally managed to compile this file on an Alpha with 1GB with
 gcc-3.0 with
 
 gcc -mieee -c engine.i
 
 Top showed about 1550MB virtual memory consumption during most of the
 time.  Top showed that the CPU was mostly in system or idle mode, with
 only about 0.5% user time; took about 30 hours.  The compiler produced
 a file engine.o, so I assume the compilation went ok (unfortunately I
 was not smart enough to log the output and status).
