I think guile-3.0 may have been installed on Alpha in the past. I
recall doing a manual build on a UP system some time ago and uploading
into the archive.

I am still of the opinion that we should try in the first instance
to find the real problem in the toolchain and fix it there. The bug
affects packages other than guile and only on SMP systems.
When I get my hands on Electro I can boot with a generic kernel
and build guile-3.0 there which hopefully will overcome the memory
exhaustion and time-out problems seen on the XP1000s.
Cheers,
Michael.
