I ran into the same problem. In the ebuild for CCC, the create-comp-config script is patched (using sed) to work with GCC-3.x. If you do the same thing for the CXX create-comp-config script, it works. Like so: sed -i -e 's/gcc -v -V \$GCC_VER/gcc -V $GCC_VER -v/' /usr/lib/compaq/cxx-6.5.9.31/alpha-linux/bin/create-comp-config.sh The rerun the ebuild config. Tavis (or one of the other Gentoo/Alpha developers), could you please add this line to the CXX ebuild, as in the CCC ebuild?
This is unsupported, broken, and unfetchable.
