System: NetBSD polaris 1.3 NetBSD 1.3 (POLARIS) #0: Thu Mar 26 13:17:18 MST 1998 root@polaris:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/POLARIS i386


>Description:
cddbd pkg doesn't compile on alpha due to many errors like:

cddbd.c:192: initializer element for `acctab[0].at_def' is not computable at
load time

Thanks to Matt Thomas who gave this description:
This is almost certainly due to foo being 32 bits and the address of
"string" being 64 bits.  So you telling the compiler to store the lower
part of address and there isn't a mechanism in ELF to do that.

	
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to compile cddbd on an alpha machine.  Lose.

	
>Fix:
The below patches work for alpha, and I tested them against i386, and they
caused no problems.
Two new patches:
