the error above is due to the fact that the asm in 
config/cpu/alpha/bits/atomicity.h has directives that digital's 
assembler doesn't know about '.subsection', et. al. I'm not sure
what .subsection and .previous are for (I suspect to help gas
produce better code.), but it looks like the code might still
work the same if those lines were removed. Of course, your best
bet would be to install gnu as from the binutils package, or if it
is installed, massage your PATH to make it visible before the digital
as[01].
