Compiling Kaffe 1.0.5 on Alpha running OSF

[William Cohen]

Here are some comments on experience I had producing an executable for
the Alpha running OSF (DEC unix).  I hope the feedback helps.

Here are some comments on kaffe 1.0.5 on a DEC alpha running OSF.

configured with following command:

./configure  --prefix=/home/cohen/instkaffe4 --enable-debug --enable-ltdl-convenience

Configure didn't set machine description correctly.  Needed to
manually create config/md.h file, which contains:

#include "./alpha/osf/md.h"

Make complains:

Make: Don't know how to make #SCRIPTFILES_COMPAT.  Stop.

Problem appears to be in ./kaffe/scripts/Makefile,
caused by the '\' at the end of the line

SCRIPTFILES_COMPAT = \
#SCRIPTFILES_COMPAT = \
#appletviewer javac javadoc

Fixed by removing the \ at the end of "SCRIPTFILES_COMPAT = \" in Makefile
and Makefile.in

Below are the results of doing a "make check-TESTS" in the tests/regression
directory:
