I'm fairly sure that gcc is not calling the Compaq linker. The errors
are reported as coming from collect2.

You're right in terms of the link being the problem. I just tried the
following:

leopard:~% gcc -g -Wall -c ctest.c
leopard:~% /usr/bin/ld -m elf64alpha -O1 -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -o ctest /usr/lib/crt1.o /usr/lib/crti.o /usr/lib/gcc-lib/alpha-linux/2.95.2/crtbegin.o -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/alpha-linux/2.95.2 ctest.o -lgcc -lc -lgcc /usr/lib/gcc-lib/alpha-linux/2.95.2/crtend.o /usr/lib/crtn.o
leopard:~% ./ctest
Hello, World!
arguments: ./ctest

Works like a charm. So, is this my machine screwing up, or is this a
problem with the .debs?
