It's under development; should be out soon.  GCC on Alpha OSF is running just
fine; don't think anyone has played with g++ as yet.  Note that the code
generated as a cross compiler will be much poorer than that generated native
(has to do with size of datatypes and what kind of optimizations gcc will then
do; Alpha OSF is a full 64 bit system), and I don't think we've tried 
it as a cross compiler since we're native. So you will need an Alpha OSF system 
for best results (or some other 64 bit system; just try to find one!).

I'll leave it to the author to comment if he desires (or not, if he doesn't
want to be pestered about it).  Otherwise, all I'll say is "Alpha support 
will be in a future release of gcc".
