Exactly. As a Linux user, I use the GNU compiler collection.

Arne is right, though, the page he produced does apply to a later version 
of DEC TrueUNIX. I wonder if TrueUNIX uses a Mach kernel now: it 
certainly wouldn't still be running on an AlphaServer chip. 

All I can add is that none of us had met TrueUNIX or an Alphaserver 
before we started that project, but that calling malloc() to force a huge 
heap expansion was fast enough that we never bothered optimising that any 
further. I think we were all mightily impressed by the Alphaserver: it 
was much faster than any equivalent Intel chip I'd seen at the time.
