That's correct. We build our Alpha binary with the Compaq C/C++ compiler on a
Compaq DS-20, which has an EV6 processor. So far, we only used the compile
option "-fast", which by default optimizes for the platform it is currently
running on and breaking backwards compatibility. The code will probably cause
"illegal instruction" traps for you.

I have now added the compile flag "-arch generic", which is supposed to make
sure the code runs on all Alpha machines - all upcoming releases of MySQL
will now be compiled with this flag.
