More problems on Alpha

[Dave Gilbert]

Hi,
  When EGCS-971215 configures by default it gets my system as :
alphaev56-unknown-linux-gnu; unofrtunatly it then fails to build with the 
Error: macro requires $at register while noat in effect
problem (even in binutils-2.8.1.0.15).

  Another problem I had was that compiling some of my own code I got:
'string too long' from the assembler; it turned out to be a string over 4K
in length from a .stabs directive describing a rbtree from the Standard
Template Library.  Is this an EGCS or binutils problem?

P.S. kde is now built and seems to be OK - but the web browser is being a
little tempremental.
