@@ -5,6 +5,13 @@ Incremental gc not yet supported under Linux because signal handler
for SIGSEGV can't get a hold of fault address. Dynamic library support
is also missing from Linux/alpha, probably for no good reason.
+Currently there is no thread support in the standard distribution. There
+exists a separate port to DEC Unix pthreads. It should be possible to
+port the X86 Linux threads support to Alpha without much trouble.
+
+If you get asssembler errors, be sure to read the first few lines of the
+Makefile.
