libtool does not currently recognize the Compaq C Compiler on
linux/alpha. Specifically, it does not recognize that it can generate
PIC code and therefore shared libraries.
Attached is a patch against libtool.m4 which should allow this to work.
This is adapted from a patch I found on the web from

This patch isn't quite up to par. For one, it is against a very old
version of Libtool, and the method it uses is very sloppy. Generally
we check the compiler by it's name, when that isn't useful we check
what "-V or --version" returns, and as a last resort use pre-defined

Bob,
Does this patch actually work? It looks to me like you're inheriting
gcc's
configuration and then changing one flag. If you have not run the test
suite yet, run it and post the results. Where did this compiler come
from?
I've been using Alphas since mips/ULTRIX went away, and I've never he
