As requested I will post the steps I took to get gcc 2.95.3 to compile on an
alpha runing V5.x
Only two changes where made to the ~/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/configure script.
The following:
  *-*-osf4*)   should be changed to use either 4 or 5     *-*-osf[45]*)
Then, a couple of lines below this, you will need to change:
*-*-osf4.0[b-z] | *-*-osf4.[1-9]*)  to the following    *-*-osf4.0[b-z] |
*-*-osf4.[1-9]* | *-*-osf5*)
(please note, as a preinstallion step I had compiled and installed GNU Make)
Once the configuration process was complete I proceeded to: gmake bootstrap
WAH-LA! no errors.  ;)
