I thought I had tried that, before I did the patch.  I knew from before 
that -ieee had been needed for some compiles.  I will try it again.

If it is the answer, then the host specific install documentation needs 
to be amended.  Most of the current comments under alpha-*..osf seem to 
be wrong or irrelevant, and if -ieee is the answer, it is not 
mentioned.
Is the bug reporter an appropriate place for that?
