OK. If you enable alpha and apply the patches that are really needed, I can build it and tell you where and how it breaks then.

Can you explain each ifarch?

Sure.

linux-2.6-mpc52xx-fec.patch adds it and I wasn't able to disable it via config as far as I can remember; So I had to patch it out at the end...

Once upon a time the folks at HP were threatening to send me SMP Alpha
boxen -- not sure if I could still pull that off...

Anyone from HP here? Jay, do you have any good contacts?

This part is needed for sure. We will enable SMP after the normal up kernel compiles fine and I found someone with a smp-capable box who can do the testing.

Of course we do not need this. It's just because I intentionally wanted to build an new kernel for AlphaCore and we have the convention to add axp to the release, so people know, it's coming from Fedora, but is modified for AC.

I don't have a smp config at the moment. So we need to put this out, else up will no build clean.

There are not *many* ifnarchs at the moment, but it makes the kernel compile for alpha. Last run was successful, but packaging was a problem because smp config is missing...
