I'm assuming that the alpha freebsd port developers had to do a similar thing. I've scanned through the gcc-2.95.2 core distribution and I don't see anything in it for freebsd on alphas, so I'm at a loss to understand what works for the alpha. (Did the necessary changes not make it back into the gcc codestream?) I see openbsd and some netbsd stuff for alpha (and powerpc) but it isn't clear what is important for freebsd and what isn't. Any help would be appreciated. Please mail to me directly.
