Write a FAQ entry and I'll gladly put it in.

I think gcc 2.95.2 only tries to build libstdc++ statically so this may be
somewhat of a non-issue (except that the resulting ecosconfig may be a bit
plump).

I can't honestly say it is a certainty - but it's one of the first things
I'd try; or at least I'd say building gcc is easier than debugging libcdl
:). I was rather hoping another Alpha linux user would pipe up though.
