Linux Alpha Problems

The following problems occur on Linux Alpha Platforms:

• Occasionally, an MPICH program being debugged by TotalView may hang on startup.
• The Compaq Fortran compiler generates incorrect debugging information for some leaf routines. This leads to missing backtraces. However, if you step to the return statement, you will see the backtrace.
• If code compiled with the Compaq compilers (ccc and fort) is linked into the same executable image as code compiled by compilers from the GNU Compiler Collection 2.95.2 (gcc 2.95.2) or later, incomplete or misleading stack backtraces can occur. This problem occurs if object files from differing compilers are mixed within the same executable file. (Using dynamic libraries produced by one compiler with an executable produced by another should work.)
