porting EGCS to the Cray T3E

[Martin Knoblauch]

Julian,

 not 100% sure, but as the T3D/E are Alpha based systems,
the name should probably be "alpha-cray-unicosmk". Then you
should go to the "gcc/config/alpha" directory and create
the necessary config files. Next step would be to step-by-step
eliminate the error messages from "configure" ... It seems
that you are at least missing a few libraries and header
files. They may have different names, or are at different places.

 What kind of Unix (BSD, SYSV, OSF) is unicosmk? Never got
in touch with it when I was working for SGI/Cray.

Below is
