There is a problem with 3.3.5 on ALPHAMP, that the PVM folks already know
about. If you look in pvm3/conf/ALPHAMP.def and compare it to ALPHA.def,
there is a "-DHASSTDLIB" missing from the "ARCHCFLAGS" line. Here's a
patch that should get it working:

-----------------------------cut here-----------------------------------
*** ALPHAMP.def.orig    Tue Dec 13 10:46:23 1994
--- ALPHAMP.def Tue Dec 13 10:46:49 1994
***************
*** 1,4 ****
! ARCHCFLAGS    = -DNOUNIXDOM
  ARCHDLIB      =
  ARCHDOBJ      =
  ARCHLIB       =
--- 1,4 ----
! ARCHCFLAGS    = -DNOUNIXDOM -DHASSTDLIB
  ARCHDLIB      =
  ARCHDOBJ      =
  ARCHLIB       =
-----------------------------cut here-----------------------------------

Bob Manchek has assured me that this will be fixed in the next patch release.

Hope this helps,
