I see now why choosing "alpha" as a target won't work. There is a small
assembly language program in config.guess used to distinguish different
types of Alpha processors. But this does not compile on the T3E; the
assembly language is different.
So what would it take for Cygnus to make egcs portable to the Cray T3E?
(i.e., how hard is it?, what would it cost?, etc.)
egcs would be extremely useful on Cray machines, since Cray CC is terrible
and KAI is very slow to update versions of KCC on the T3E.
