^^^^^^^^^^^^^
These flags correspond to the template 'alpha_gcc', not to 'alpha_cc',
which is the one that should be used with DEC C. The problem you are
seeing comes from a missing flag (-std). Make sure that you give the
option "--with-CC=cc' to configure, and if you don't see this line:
checking setting template to... alpha_cc
(that is, if it says 'alpha_gcc' instead) then re-run configure with the
option "--with-template=alpha_cc". I didn't have to specify that, but...
Also, it wouldn't hurt if you remove the whole source tree and extract it
again from the tarball, just in case. The 'make distclean' should have the
same effect, but it seems it didn't.
Cheers,
Pedro.
