[Tripwire-dev] porting to alpha

[<ma...@wi...>]

i've been discussing some porting issues with tripwire.com and have been
asked to bring it over to this list (and rightly so).  as a quick summary:

1. Platform/Environment (Alpha/RH7.0) which includes:
	o  Kernel 2.2.17-4
	o  gcc version 2.96 (as i understand this may be a problem).
	o  glibc-devel-2.1.95-2
	o  make-3.79.1-5

2. it hangs a *long* time on iostream.c.  it keeps on using up all of
   my swap space with the top user on the system (as per time) is cc1plus
   (over 66744 clicks).

i finally got through that file by added more swap and waiting a long
time.  it doesn't look like a particularly heinous file though, so i
don't know why it took such a long time.

3. after i stop the build, it will repeat the entire make sequence
   instead of starting from where it stopped off last time.

4. it doesn't compile everything.  the following messages come out for
   locale_impl.o:


	c++ -I../stlport -Wall -W -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-unused -Wno-uninitialized -ftemplate-depth-32 -O2 locale_impl.cpp -c -o obj/GCC/Release/locale_impl.o

what's my best bet to get this working on my alpha box?
