Correct, because until recently you could get much better performance by
compling your binaries on Tru64 than compiling with gcc.
Now that Compaq has released the Tru64 compilers for AlphaLinux there is
almost no performance differnce, and the Linux machines don't have to have
all the Tru64 shared libraries copied over either (which can be a
licensing nightmare).
