http://bugs.gentoo.org/201910 For every arch, PTR_MANGLE and PTR_DEMANGLE defines are in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux//sysdep.h. But for alpha this is not true. The defines are in sysdeps/unix/alpha/sysdep.h and unix/sysv/linux/alpha/sysdep.h includes the first. This is a patch that fixes the issue and let alpha build, at the expense of disabling MANGLING in the non PIC case, but googling showed that the issue is known, and that nobody really cares about it.
