Yes and no. gcc 2.7.x has no native support for Alphas (at least upstream
never did...we had patches but they were UGLY). As far as
cross-compiling, I would recommend against it. With register sizes being
different (not to mention other problems, like 64-bit pointer sizes on
Alphas), you're just asking for trouble by cross-compiling on any x86
machine.
