Could someone outline the steps necessary to actually build the
tree on an alpha?  I am somewhat confused as to how things go,
having a seperate toolchain.

A couple of problems that I ran into include..

install core dumps with the -s option.  so i set STRIPFLAG= in /etc/mk.conf

After I got finished with building all the libraries, I couldn't get much
further because everything complained about unresolved symbols in libc,
and other nasty such messages.  Are you not supposed to rebuild crt0 and
such things?

Basically, what do I need to do?
