Thanks Richard.  I can confirm that, by updating from a binutils circa
1-2 weeks ago on the binutils mainline to one taken around May 30,
everything is looking *great* on FreeBSD/alpha for gcc 3.0 prerelease.

I have not yet checked results against the official binutils-2_11
release.  However, I will do so before the gcc 3.0 release.
