__builtin_memset needed by Linux kernel on Alpha

[Christian Iseli]

Hi folks,

I tried building Linux kernel 2.1.98 on an alpha pc164lx.  Things fail
when ld tries to link the vmlinux file, 'cause it misses __builtin_memset.

I tried with egcs-1.0.2, and also with gcc-2.8.1.  Same story.
gcc-2.7.2.3 does not exhibit this problem.

I use binutils 2.9.0.3.  The rest of the system is basically RH 5.0.

Anybody can shed some light on this?
