I got distracted by a discarded AlphaStation 300 and wondered if it would run Etoile, but GNUstep base from CVS won't build (on Debian Testing). Anyone else having problems with 64-bit, or is it just me?
I compiled GNUstep without any problems[1] on the UltraSPARC on my desk. I used GCC, rather than the Sun compiler; not sure if this makes any difference. UltraSPARC is a lot more picky about the code it runs (all sorts of alignment requirements, etc) and so if it runs on UltraSPARC it should run on Alpha, unless GCC defaults to 32-bit code on UltraSPARC (which is entirely possible).
From the debug output you posted, it sounds like someone forgot that sizeof(int) == sizeof(long) only holds on some platforms (x86, x86-64 and PowerPC, for example) and not on pure 64-bit architectures.
