Either the arch baseline is raised to something that is easier to maintain (which, frankly, I think is essential if the Alpha port is to survive any longer), someone else steps up to fix the brokenness that arises from non-atomic multi-cpu-instruction 8-bit and 16-bit memory accesses, or I bail out of maintaining Debian-Ports Alpha.
So what baseline do we want? Would EV56 be sufficient? Because that would still work with my AlphaStation 433au and XP1000 and gets us BWX. I don't want to use something like EV67 as I think that would limit the usable hardware too much. I guess I can live with dropping EV4 since NetBSD and Gentoo would still run on these. I am still interested in fixing the glibc bug and will work on bisecting it. If EV56 is the baseline we can agree on, please go ahead and rebuild glibc and gcc using this baseline.
