Hi Florian,
Under Alpha/Unix, we currently support (2.21) two versions;
- cxx version 6
- egcs 1.1.1

For gcc/egcs users, we strongly recommend that you upgrade your system
to egcs1.1. It is our intention to support egcs1.1 on all platforms.
If you cannot upgrade to this version, please take the makefile
distributed
with the Root tar file and adapt it to your compiler environment.
