Alpha compilation error

[Matt Beare]

Hi

Whilst trying to compile the current FreeType 2 on an Alpha (OSF/1 v4.0) I
have hit two problems, one of which I found the solution, the other I have
not.

First I had a problem with the constants INT64 and LONG64 in ftcalc.h.
Changing occurences to FT_INT64 and FT_LONG64 respectively throughout
ftcalc.h did the trick, since that is what is defined in ftconfig.h. You may
or may not already be aware of this, but thought I'd mention it just in
case.

Secondly, I then got the following compilation error, for which I would
welcome suggestions as to how I might resolve it.  (I simply typed "make"
and then "make" again).

./builds/unix/libtool --mode=link cc -O0 -o obj/libfreetype.la
obj/ftsystem.lo obj/ftdebug.lo obj/ftinit.lo obj/ftbase.lo obj/ftglyph.lo
obj/ftmm.lo obj/autohint.lo obj/cff.lo obj/type1cid.lo obj/psnames.lo

obj/.libs/libfreetype.so.6.0.0
/bin/ld:

make: *** [obj/libfreetype.la] Error 1

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
                Matt Beare.
