List pgsql-ports
Yes, it doesn't compile. use cc with template alpha_cc, which works fine. It
uses semaphores for locking, which is slow, but works. Somebody is working on
assembler for s_lock. Ryan Kirkpatrick has got a set of patches for (linux)
alpha+gcc -- search the mailing lists, as i do not have a link to his
website. Note that questions have been raised as to whether the assembler in
the gcc section for alphas is reliable on SMP boxes -- nobody here seems to
know alphas+alpha assembler well enough to answer that one conclusively ;-(.
