Scott,
have you had any follow up to this?

This really intrigues me because I was just catching up on the list
and looking for refs to gcc. I am trying to run the PDP10
simulators on netbsd/alpha with a 164/500. This puppy screams on
anything tht does not use gcc. With the lack of an alignment
capability for the alpha - and I have looked and looked but not
found it but I could be wrong - I am getting perf that is
consistent with your bench marks. The Linux on alpha folks are
getting phenomenal perf.
thanks
