Description Klaus Robert Suetterlin 2005-07-01 09:40:19 UTC 
the compaq-cc port cannot install currently, as it depends on the redhat
linux beeing installed.  Unfortunately the current linux_base for redhat
are all not available on alpha architecture.  (The Debian linux_base does
not install due to mismatch of libc6 version.  With gentoo there seems to
be a problem of missing or different libraries, so that compaq-cc won't
compile properly.)

Fix: 

I really do not know!  Maybe there is still an old version of the redhat
linux base for alpha, that could be reintegrated into ports?
How-To-Repeat: cd /usr/ports/lang/compaq-cc && make install

Suspended until linux_base-debian is fixed or other working alpha 
linux_base port is created. Freebsd-emulation@ is not supposed to do it.

Since I last worked on this PR, support for alpha has been dropped in 
-CURRENT, and support for any linux on alpha has been dropped in the other 
branches.  The odds of anything happening on this are nil, so close with 
"we aren't going to do this."
