  We recently upgraded a Dec alpha machine from OSF1 V3.2 to V4.0, and
we now have problems compiling code. Some examples:

Using GCC 2.7.2 compiled under OSF1 V3.2:

% uname -a
OSF1 hostname V4.0 464 alpha
% gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/alpha-dec-osf3.2/2.7.2/specs
gcc version 2.7.2

% gcc -c try.c
In file included from /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:37,

                 from /usr/include/sys/time.h:84,
                 from try.c:5:

                 from try.c:5:

/usr/local/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/alpha-dec-osf3.2/2.7.2/include/time.h:96: warning: `clockid_t' previously declared here

The source code I tried to compile is:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/times.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>

void main ()
{
    fprintf (stderr, "hello\n");
}

It would appear that the header files that GCC derives from the system
header files are now incompatible with the system header files. The
next thing I did was to try building GCC 2.7.2.1. I was able to build
the first stage compiler, but when building the compiler with itself,
I got the following error message when compiling cp/errfn.c:

stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/ -c  -DIN_GCC   -g -O2     -I. -I.. -I. -I./.. -I./../config errfn.c
errfn.c: In function `cp_sprintf':
errfn.c:198: conflicting types for `sprintf'
include/stdio.h:182: previous declaration of `sprintf'
*** Exit 1
Stop.
*** Exit 1
Stop.

So it also appears that GCC 2.7.2.1 (I also tried with GCC 2.7.2 with
the same results) cannot deal with the system header files.
