Not that I know about.  DEC/Compaq was kind enough to lend the project
an Alpha for testing, but it's running Linux (RedHat 6.2).

Let me get back to you after we finish wringing out the known Alpha
portability issues on the Linux box.  What with the fmgr changes,
7.1 has at least a shot at running cleanly on Alphas ... but there's
still mop-up work to do.
