The reason is the "-nostdinc" flag introduced by the new 2.5 build
system. We're using a glibc header, which is a bug IMHO, as
it broke cross-compilation. The lazy solution was moving
regdef.h from /usr/include/alpha to asm-alpha (as in my recently
posted incomplete patches). Personally, I wouldn't mind to get rid
of OSF mnemonics - VMS/gas numeric registers names are much more
easy to remember for me. ;-)
Just a matter of taste, of course.
