gcc on alpha

[mgraffam idsi net]

Hello all..

I am running RH 5.1 on my UDB, with the gcc RPMs from 5.0 installed.

I recently ran into a bit of a problem in compiling some C code with
gcc. It is generating bogus assembler.

I get a bunch of these:

/tmp/cca14951.s:358: Error: macro requires $at register while noat in effect

The C code that I am compiling doesn't do anything too funky (I don't
think :) .. just defines a Complex type consisting of two floats, and
declares a matrix of them, and then I pass them around and do some math.

This code compiles nicely and works fine on Linux/Intel (gcc 2.7.2.3,
same as my Alpha). 

egcs on the Alpha works fine too. 

Is gcc known to have problems?
