Has PostgreSQL ever worked on Linux/ALPHA ?

I'm very likely to get one soon, and knowing that it works on Digital
Unix 
and also on several Linuxes, it should not be too hard to make it work
on 
ALPHA, but knowing that it already did would be even better.

I have also heard that Linux ALPHA can run Digital Unix binaries, so i
might 
just ask for some friendly soul for precompiled binaries

Also, would the table splitting at at least 2GB be needed on 64bit 
architectures ? If I'm not mistaken, then Linux 2.2 has a small patch
that 
can make all off_t-s to long longs.
