Hi!
The attached patch adds alpha as a detected platform to platform.m4
in the same manner s390(x) was added in revision 786.
S390 support came in as a complete port of the OpenJDK:

What are you proposing for Alpha and all these other platforms? For any
port supported by the OpenJDK there needs to be an active segment of the
community that is prepared to be the "caretakers" of that port.
This needs further discussion - porters-dev would be the right place to
start.
We do accept some minor patches that assist "unofficial" ports, but they
get heavily scrutinised.

Please note that afterwards, generated_configure.sh needs to be
updated so that it matches the definitions in platform.m4. So, my
sponsor should take care of this. See the diff for revision 786
for details.
Thanks,
Adrian
