Some Crays are more equal than others :-)

A T3E is just a bunch of 21164 Alpha's interconnected in an  
interesting way.  If the C library on the system is not really  
botched up beyond repair, it shouldn't be impossible to create an  
alphaev5-unicosmk-cray target.  However, this is about as much as I  
know about this topic, so people with more info are kindly requested  
to step forward.

[ I never did more than building diffutils-2.7, make-3.75 and rcs-5.7
  on it ]

Cheers,
Toon.
