I have twiddeled around with this.

1)  With the headers from libc6.1-dev_2.0.7.19981211-6.deb, I can
    compile all the stuff. But linking goes wrong: undef ref to 
    __getdents. 

2) With headers from libc6.1-dev_2.1.1-0.1.deb. I have defined
   _ALPHA_CURRENT_H, _BSD_SOURCE and _USE_BSD. Then it compiles fine,
   except some missing headerfiles and some problems in socket.c.
   Around line 380 ( struct iovec  alpha_iovec[X86_UIO_MAXIO]) the
   compiler say something like storage size of alpha_iovec isnt known?
   I dont know exactly why.

So. thats enough for today.

Thank you and happy easter
