Many programs are written with the assumption that sizeof(int) is identical 
to sizeof any pointer. The system-compiler cc on OSF1/Alpha assumes this also
with a size of 64bit. This is not so for the gcc produced on this plattform.
Here has a pointer 64, long 64, int 32 and short 16 bits. So the way 
for porting software is to change at every place where it is needed
int to long or to have a compiler option (like -mint64 on SPARC) to say
gcc to use int with 64 bits (or to use cc).

What is to do?
