FYI, the only trouble I ran into when building open-amulet on Alpha was an optimiser bug in g++. Removing the "-O2" flags for the files affected seemed to allow it to compile cleanly (and I uploaded the resulting packages). IMO, this is a bug that has a workaround and is therefore not critical. I have run across many packages in the past (not now) that will not build at all with gcc. Those I consider to be critical since there is no way to compile them at all. A "forwarded upstream" is definitely the appropriate status on this (and priority should definitely be normal). C
