Yes.  There are a number of things that you have to do (here's a basic
rundown, as I don't have my Alpha w/ me right now):

    * fix ccc's symlinks to ld, as, and whatever else is wrong.

    * grab gcc's headers, and put them in an accessible place
      (i.e. the stuff out of /usr/lib/gcc-lib/.../include).

    * create a shared library that consists of the missing symbols
      that ccc's backend requires, and LD_PRELOAD it before compiling.
      I don't know if this is necessary with the latest Potatos,
      but the last time I did this I had to dump libc.a, and build
      a share object that included __setjmp and code that it
      depended on.  I'm not sure why RedHat's libc.so includes this,
      but Debian's doesn't.

This should give you a good start,.. sorry I couldn't give you the
info in detail, but I did this a while ago, ``and thanks to TV I can't
remember what happened to me 5 minutes ago.'' ;)
