Hi!

The two problems on Linux-Alpha have been Linuxthreads and the
gcc 2.8.1 !

If you have a new glibc and use the following configure line, then it
should work:

CFLAGS="-O6 -mpentium -fomit-frame-pointer" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O6
-mpentium -fomit-frame-pointer -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions
-fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
-with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static --disable-shared


If not, please read the manual section 'Debugging mysql' to find out what
could be wrong.

Regards,
Monty
