There are some deficiencies wrt ev56 support in the binutils 2.8.1.0.1
that was shipped with RH5.0.  I would suggest first bootstrapping EGCS
as --target=alphaev5-unknown-linux-gnu (rather than alphaev56) just to 
be sure that things are sane.

After that, we can see about possibly upgrading binutils and rebuilding
EGCS to take advantage of the byte/word extension on the ev56.
