Thanks for the update... glad it wasn't serious. I've done the
non-static thing myself. I suppose there's probably a way we could tell
by looking at the binary and print a descriptive error message in the
loader, but I've never looked into that.
We already received a patch for fstat64 (and a few other syscalls) last
fall... unfortunately we don't have a good way of rolling out minor
updates at this point, so it's not released yet. I found the original
patch and I'll send it to the list as a stopgap.
We're hoping to move to a good open-source revision control system
(probably Mercurial) so that we can host a repository that we can easily
push minor updates to so others can track it. This will have to wait
until after the 2.0 release though, since we're pretty consumed with
that at this point.

Oh sorry, I should have posted a follow up to this. It came down to
sheer stupidity. I forgot to use
the -static flag ;-) It's a bit odd that some other error didn't crop
up from that.
You are missing the fstat64 syscall right now, however, I added support for
it by just calling the fstat function for syscall 467. I'll submit a
patch to the sourceforge
page soon as I get a chance. Our Alpha is an ev67 running Linux.

This is odd... we have run natively compiled binaries frequently in
the past with no problem. M5 gets the entry point from the ELF
header, so it shouldn't matter what the symbol name is.
What is your actual Alpha running, Linux or Tru64?
If you got the deadlock message, you must be running FullCPU... does
the same thing happen with SimpleCPU?

Everything I cross compile and link on my x86 machine runs perfectly,

on our actual Alpha don't run at all on ALPHA_SE. It never even
fetches/executes an instruction, it
doesn't do anything except print out the deadlock after xxxx cycles
of nothing committing.
This is fairly annoying because I don't have any alpha libraries on
my x86 machine, and I'd
like to avoid having to install them if I can (and I'm wondering if
the problem
won't crop up again on x86 if I link the libraries, it seems to not
like any program
where main isn't the first function in the binary). Has anyone else
run into this problem?
