Great!  Test results below on alphaev56-unknown-linux-gnu (running Debian
glibc 2.1-based potato).

Woohoo!


Ok...got a few failures in the testsuite, but nothing to delay the
release.  Here's the details:

System: alphapca56 running Debian Linux 'potato' with glibc 2.1.3, gcc
2.95.2, HJL's binutils 2.9.5.0.46.

binutils testsuite went just fine.  Just the usual expected objcopy
XFAIL (simple objcopy of executable).

gas testsuite revealed two unexpected failures.  The tests that failed
were "vtable inherit0" and "vtable entry1".  These have failed
continuously on this target for me for quite some time now and don't seem
to be impacting the port at all.  Here's the output (respectively) of each
testcase:

ld testsuite just failed once (selective3) due to a gcc internal compiler
error and selective4 was unresolved.  Here's the log output from
selective3, fyi:
