According to JanJaap van der Heijden:
I don't know much about the Alpha and GPC related bugs, but I did some work to build Redhat RPM's for GPC.
RPM? What's that?
See http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rpm
"RPM is the Red Hat Package Manager. While it does contain Red Hat in the name, it is completely intended to be an open packaging system available for anyone to use. It allows users to take source code for new software and package it into source and binary form such that binaries can be easily installed and tracked and source can be rebuilt easily. It also maintains a database of all packages and their files that can be used for verifying packages and querying for information about files and/or packages."
Are these patches freely available? If so, we should point to them in the GPC documentation and README files. And in the FAQ - even more important.
Yes, on ftp.redhat.com and Mirrors.
