[2.1.109] fails to compile on Alpha (fwd)

["B. James Phillippe" <bryan at terran dot org>]

Hello,

	This is for Jeff, who requested a more detailed bug report from
someone else posting about problems compiling kernels using egcs-1.0.3.
This is a forward of a message I sent to linux-kernel, minus a section on
the results of trying egcs-19980714 (which works, but fails to due to a
kernel breakage).
