Summary: configure doesn't recognise platform

Initial Comment:
the ./configure script said it didn't recognise my build 
platform (alphaev5-unknown-linux-gnu). 

after looking in the script, changing the $HostPlatform 
matching string from "alpha*-unknown-linux" to "alpha*-
unknown-linux-gnu" was all that was needed to fix it and 
to get it to compile.

so perhaps this could be changed in the next release. 
thanks. peace.
