Also if you have an Alpha you may also have installed the cpml math libary
which is specially written to take advantage of the Alpha's FPP. At the
moment I have to manually add that in before the -lm in the Makefile. It's
pretty much a replacement for the standard glibc math library. On the note
of CXXFLAGS, I use '-O3 -mcpu=ev56 -fomit-frame-pointer -fnroll-loops
-foptimize-sibling-calls -mno-soft-float -finline-functions
-fexpensive-optimizations -ffast-math'....don't know if all those are
needed but seems to work fine.
