Fine, then _tell_ me what the specific address is supposed to be, if there even really is one. I know there's a specific address in SVR4/i386, but as yet you've given me no reason to think the address is wired down on the Alpha. Just saying it's wired down doesn't do anybody a bit of good if you don't state what the address is supposed to be.

Do you have a copy of DEC UNIX with a compiler?

I don't even have an Alpha machine.

Write a program:

main() { for(;;) { sleep(1000); } }

And then examine the memory mappings for it.

That will show where the RTLD is mapped for sleep, but it doesn't show whether the RTLD _has_ to be mapped at that location. I think a better way would be to run objdump on the Digital Unix RTLD and see if it has a fixed load address.
