I used to maintain prc-tools and actually gave it off to another
person when I switched to alpha for just this reason. Apparently the
reason lies with gcc, but as I don't have the knowledge or time to
hack gcc, I've just left it as-is. Supposedly somewhere there is a
newer version based on egcs that might maybe possibly work on alpha
:-)
No idea where.
