There was an Alpha back end for LLVM, but it was removed because no one cared about it enough to maintain it and Alpha is basically a dead architecture at this point. Given how simple the Alpha ISA is, it wouldn't be too difficult to resurrect it, but I doubt anyone will. It's not like anyone is trying to sell new Alpha systems now. We dropped Alpha support in FreeBSD a while ago for the same reason (and Alpha was the first 64-bit system to be tier 1 for us).
