 for SIGSEGV can't get a hold of fault address.  Dynamic library support
 is also missing from Linux/alpha, probably for no good reason.
 
+Currently there is no thread support in the standard distribution.  There
+exists a separate port to DEC Unix pthreads.  It should be possible to
+port the X86 Linux threads support to Alpha without much trouble.

+If you get asssembler errors, be sure to read the first few lines of the
