The build system (aka that one monolithic makefile), I would guess.
I kind of.. err.. umm.. promised a new build system during this
break... but it hasn't happened.. sorry. Its turned out to be a much
larger task than I was expecting.

The main issue is that the makefile sees something that isnt one of its
supported architectures:

ifneq ($(ARCH),x86_64)
ifneq ($(ARCH),i386)
ifneq ($(ARCH),axp)
ifneq ($(ARCH),ppc)
ifneq ($(ARCH),sparc)

notice 'alpha' isnt included. I'm kind of surprised it even built at
all, because the next line is:

$(error arch $(ARCH) is currently not supported)

What does 'uname -a' give you?

If your make lore is strong, add an 'ifneq [. . .],alpha)' line, and
then add some appropriate lines below for alpha too, similar to the
'ifeq's youll see below the 'ifneq' lines.

HTH, and good luck,
