I began testing gcc-4.7.0 today on alpha and remembered that >=gcc-4.6 cannot build itself on alpha without passing -Wl,--no-relax. See http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5276
As projects are growing in code size more and more are being affected by this bug we are also requiring a lot of use of --no-relax in the Debian Alpha port. That gcc is now being affected by it is a real problem.
I am prepared to assist in testing including running debugging versions of binutils under gdb to see if we can better isolate the problem and find a solution, but I would need guidance since I know very little of the binutils code.
