New patches from Ioannis E. VENETIS to allow building more up-to-date Alpha x-compilers.
Some patches are still missing, though.

 Use printf instead of echo for some shells.

 http://www.cygwin.com/ml/libc-alpha/2005-02/msg00123.html

 This patch does not generate invalid csu/version-info.h which has

 unterminating " line because some /bin/sh cannot parse correctly.  The

 previous discussion was:

 	http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2004-08/msg00129.html

 	http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2004-08/msg00145.html

 This patch gets rid of all this issue because the conclusion of the

 discussion was to use printf instead of echo.  Roland, could you look

 at it again?

 Regards,
