Subject:	Compaq to sell(give?) DU C/C++ for Alphalinux?

An interesting disscussion went on today at the alphant mailing list
that somehow got on the topic of DU. Turns out that DEC/Compaq is
planning to release a C/C++ compiler for alphalinux. Can anyone else
verify this? This would solve our mozzila problems in one shot. It would
also make porting DU applications like the JDK to alphalinux easy. See
below.

I think that this is *essential* to convince people to pay the price for an ev6 machine. Personal experience tells me that gcc without *serious work* is just not up to the job. What the point in buying an expensive machine for number crunching if the binaries are unoptimised. I would certainly have a problem convincing my superiors to part with the money. 

Does anyone now how will this would effect fortran compilations?
