Actually, we have been building GDB for alphaev67-dec-osf5.1, and it
works just fine. But we don't use ncurses, we build GDB with curses.
I don't know about ncurses, as we don't have it installed on our
Tru64 machines, AFAIK.
(It doesn't change anything to your argument, but I just wanted to
say that we've been building gdb on this platform, and we do it daily
now).
