We are 95% of the way done with a port of gcc/gpp to OpenNT on Alpha.
Considerable work was needed; gcc etc. has never been used to generate
NT/Alpha code, and there was indeed some stuff broken. (NT PE object
format, in particular, although there are some code generation
glitches.)
Once we have the compiler stable and self-hosted (i.e. can be used to
build itself; we used MSVC 4.0 as a bootstrap compiler) we'll be putting
the source up on http://www.opennt.com. Should be under a month from
now. An alpha-quality binary of gcc for OpenNT on Alpha is available
from the same place; the binary does require OpenNT. The source code
will not, of course.
