This has been done before. There may be a few strange things but I
doubt they will find anything that matters.

Does this mean that with DEC's C compiler on the Alpha there are no
problems? In that case I'll have to add an entry to the FAQ about
using gcc for the Alpha... Else, I hope he comes up with more

someone who has indicated that all was well -- but I don't know what
compiler they used.
