Hi,
By private mail, I got the suggestion that maybe Alpha's epoll.h lacks
extern C; I diff'd the two files and that's not the case.
Steve, thanks for caring enough about Alpha to follow that one up. I
had noted the absence of the epoll_create1

Maybe I missed it, but was there a solution (or at least an

GPREL16 errors when using the -msmall-data flag?
You can change -msmall-data to -mlarge-data in

We are not currently building experimental on Alpha and I personally won't
be able to run a build of gcc-4.7 for three weeks or so, most likely.

Unfortunately qt4-x11 now FTBFS on Alpha (whereas it built in the past).
The following error is seen:

Wonderful news concerning gcc/g++-4.6, and I think rebuilding several of

exercise.

No contest: the -O1 version runs *much* faster on my PWS 433au. I still
don't trust the optimizer, but the performance gains are too great to ignore.
As I understand it -O1 only turns on straightforward optimisations such
as keeping often used local

Might have to have you crank out an official -O0 or

OK, I'll take a look at that one. I presume you mean qt4-x11?
That would be the one. I'd be interested in the build time for it as
needs to be disabled. Please add into debian/rules the following:
ifneq (,$(filter alpha,$(DEB_BUILD_ARCH)))
CONFIGURE_FLAGS += --enable-optimize=-O1
endif
Thanks,

Fast is relative. Besides, if nearly tripling the amount of RAM in my

Good news. I have a working iceweasel version 8.0-3.

The problem is in the kernel and libc6.1. If you are running a 3.2-rcX

It affects at least the binary packages produced from the qt4-x11
