DJGPP is gcc ported to Intel x86 DOS.  I see no reason to expect it to run
on an Alpha machine.  Your problem isn't about running out of memory, 
it's about executing invalid instructions!

(Note: NT may look the same on an Alpha as it does on an Intel, but the 
assembler/compiled code is not the same, unless you're running in some 
machine code emulator mode on the Alpha that I don't know about.)
