Kinda. I did try to make FreeBSD/alpha build under OSF-1, but there were many problems. It could be done, but needed many compatibility routines to make it even a remote possibility. I punted. This was before John Birrell's heroic efforts, however. One could likely get FreeBSD/alpha building on osf-1 (assuming hand built build tools) if the cross building support for FreeBSD was a little better. It isn't an out of the box thing, as far as I know. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
