Yes, please! I suggest the following in debian/rules2: ifneq (,$(findstring alpha,$(DEB_TARGET_ARCH))) CONFARGS += --with-cpu=ev56 --with-tune=ev6 endif (the --with-tune only affects instruction scheduling and better tunes code for ev6 and more recent machines, but allows execution down to ev56.) I have tested this in the past with a rebuild of most packages that are in the base essential chroot in the past and it works well. Regards, Michael.
