Which was quite trivial to do.. alpha-linux uses reg8 as current pointer and gcc has to be told about this. Please add -ffixed-8 to the CFLAGS and the problem should disappear. Latest CVS snapshot does this with following patch:

• Makefile 10 Sep 2002 16:22:58 -0000 1.25 +++ Makefile 12 Sep 2002 08:09:45 -0000 @@ -41,6 +41,11 @@

 include $(KERNEL_PATH)/.config

+
+ifdef CONFIG_ALPHA
+CFLAGS += -mno-fp-regs -ffixed-8
+endif
