Yes, this was part of my patch to get it to compile.

Actually, I'm surprised if that was it. I also had to change some
#includes to remove the #include <float.h> and <nan.h> to #include
<math.h> instead (which is more proper on alpha). Neither float.h nor
nan.h exist in /usr/include, fyi, under glibc 2.1.x and only really exist
on Digital UNIX/Tru64 systems. Frankly, I'm a bit stunned that it
built at all without that correction (unless it was generated by a
part of that perl-generated Makefile). Here's that portion of my patch
(and it only affects alpha, fyi):

Aside from the removal of the Mesa libs, that's my entire patch for pdl to
work on Alpha....
I'd really like to see this in potato and, as it stands, it just isn't
proper to include a binary package on Alpha that won't compile with the
supplied source that we have in potato. If that's the case, though, I'd
rather see pdl not make it into potato for Alpha at all...
