The latest version of Hugs (980429) successfully compiles on Linux
and HP-UX 9/10, but fails on Alpha platforms. Here a part of the
compilation log:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
gcc -O3 -c -g -O builtin.c
iomonad.c: In function `primMakeFO':
In file included from builtin.c:1388:
iomonad.c:920: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
iomonad.c:922: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
iomonad.c: In function `primWriteFO':
iomonad.c:932: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
builtin.c: In function `getAddr':
builtin.c:1568: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
builtin.c: In function `putAddr':
builtin.c:1585: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
[...]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The reason is (like always on Alphas...) that a pointer (8 bytes)
doesn't fit into an int (4 bytes). Starting hugs fails almost immediately:

An older version (971202) seems to work fine.
