[EGCS-1.1b] Install on DEC alpha

We had a small problem on a DEC Alpha,
configure uses : alphaev56-dec-osf4.0b

----------------------------------------------------
Pb: Many target failed probably because of a
    missing .deps directory
----------------------------------------------------
Many errors were not clearly reported (but I know
this is not obvious...), errors were something like:

Checking wether compiler works... NO    (erroneous, the compiler is OK)

Cannot open .deps/dummy.C  (no .deps directory)

No such target (on a make all into libF77)

etc...

All in all, all errors
have been cleared by creating a .deps directory in most
sub-directories of the egcs-1.1b source tree.
Then, egcs has been sucessully compiled/tested/installed.

----------------------------------------------------
If your *really* care, I can built egcs again and send
you all errors, but I guess this is related to automake.
Note we have NO automake (but I'm not sure it actually
is the reason).

We also had some symbol length problem with our linker.
We intensively use the STL libs. We used the explicit 
instanciantion with -fno-implicit-templates and the
symbols we far to long for the linker (or the assembler ?)
We built our application and egcs using -fsquangle and
all seems perfect so far. It has been somewhat difficult
to set the -fnosquangle over all the makefiles.
At last, we directly hack in the libstdc++ makefile,
using the CXXFLAGS. This flags *seems* to be lost between
the top configure and the actual use in libstdc++
