Hi Actually the special casing of the linker flags with -Wl,--no-relax is no longer needed on Alpha. The linker was fixed maybe a month ago and relaxation is now working fine on large C/C++ programs.
I was just about to downgrade this bug to minor and retitle it to suggest removing the alpha special casing when I see it is now marked pending. I am also wondering whether the addition of the "-mieee' compiler flag (that is currently in debian/rules for Alpha) is strictly necessary as the Debian gcc should default to -mieee switched on when run on Alpha, but I have not had a chance to run a test build of that.
