glibc 2.1.2pre2 compile failure on Alpha with gcc 2.95

[Christopher C Chimelis <chris@classnet.med.miami.edu>]

Hello...

It seems that gcc 2.95 cannot compile glibc at this time on Linux-Alpha
due to a problem accessing the imaginary part of a complex number:

Any hints on this?  I'm assuming that the fact that it compiles fine with
egcs 1.1.2 means that the gcc crew has altered a few things and made it
impossible to do this now (I hear they had problems with complex double
support on Alpha, so it may have been disabled at this point until it
works).
