    Subject: Building sam
    
    Has anyone out there built sam on a DEC Alpha ? 
    	Andy Vick.

I had a go.  A problem seems to be that sam & samterm pass around
identifiers for things and use the pointer to the object to do so.
They pass 4 bytes.  This is fine when pointers are 4 bytes but tends
to fall apart on the alpha.  I concluded this after an afternoon of
frustration trying to get 9term/sam compiled in our alpha environment
some time ago.  I would not bet on being right.  Someone please
correct me if I'm wrong.
