R-1.0.0 and Alpha-linux (RH 6.1)

R-1.0.0 still will not run on Alpha-Linux (RH 6.1). I have two LX164 machines. One runs RH 6.0, the other RH 6.1. Only the RH 6.1 gives problems, at least as far as I have tested. First, R-1.0.0 compiles, installs and runs on an LX164 RH 6.0. All the checks ran without complaint. On the LX164 RH 6.1, it compiles and installs. Running it from the command line or running the checks returns a floating point exception. The check (make check) output filetests stops with only the floating point exception. ([ctest-Ex.Rout] reports Error 136) and then Error 2 as make backs up to the top level. The error occurs after initialization output and somewhere before a prompt appears.
This is pretty darn odd... The quick-exit syndrome with an FP error can only occur from misconfiguration of the IEEE options I think, but why would that be different between 6.0 and 6.1? 2 ideas: 1. what do you get from running tools/config.guess? If it doesn't match alpha*linux in configure.in, you'd certainly get in trouble. 2. are we using the proper form of the ieee option? configure.in sets -mieee (do you see that in compiles too?), but it may be that it wants -mieep-fp, -mieee-with-inexact or whatnot... "gcc --help -v 2>&1 | grep ieee" works with gcc 2.95, but not with egcs 1.1.2 on intel, but you could try. Well, three ideas: does the 6.0 binary run on the 6.1 machine?
