FreeBSD has a port for ccc (lang/compac-cc), so maybe that's a good
starting point. I don't have any NetBSD/alpha boxen left around, thus
I can't look at it right now. I do plan, however, to go get another hd
for my 164sx and throw a -current on it some time in the near future,
but have no clue as to when will that be.

FWIW, the above port runs ccc as a linux emulated binary and allows
you to use ccc for stuff not relying on gcc-isms. As is also the case
in linux, the performance improvement I see here (pca56) vs. gcc 3.3.3
is in the order of 2x for fp-intensive code (ccc is winning, of
course). Obviously, ccc on FBSD has at least the same limitations as
on linux (i.e. you can't compile gcc-tweaked sources -- such as the
kernel -- and there are some issues with producing dynamic libraries,
etc.) Other than that, ccc is fully functional for me.
