i don't know if it a known issue but perhaps this helps to find out.
i was able to compile 2.5.65 with gcc version 2.95.4 on an Alpha
EV45/Avtanti and it is running quite stable.
but compiling a 2.5.66 or 2.5.67 fails with gcc (GCC) 3.2.3 20030309 :
(before patching i always do "make clean". patches applied with no
errors. same config used.)

do you need further infos to debug this?
compiling a kernel on this machine is very slow, i think i can't take
the "BUG-HUNTING" approach.
Thank you,
Christian.
