FWIW;

I think it would be interesting to do some LLVM testing on Alpha. Like here=
:

http://wiki.freebsd.org/LowLevelVirtualMachine/

check the devel/llvm port and run=20

    make MAINTAINER_MODE=3Dyes regression-target
then report bugs to the llvm developers.

This won't resurrect FreeBSD-Alpha, but I do think it would make the EOL re=
lease interesting and usable for a while longer.

cheers,
