  Modified files:
    sys/boot/alpha/common Makefile.common 
  Log:
  Fix the Alpha loader the rest of the way.  If FICL is present in
  /boot/loader (even though it is 100% dormant in the Alpha version),
  then the loader panics with a zfree error:Loading /boot/loader.test
    *** keyboard not plugged in...
    Console: SRM firmware console
    panic: zfree(0x2003cb58,4096): wild pointer
  versus the exact same code but without FICL linked in:
    Loading /boot/loader
    Console: SRM firmware console
    VMS PAL rev: 0x1000600010114
    OSF PAL rev: 0x1000600020116
    Switch to OSF PAL code succeeded.
  
    FreeBSD/alpha SRM disk boot, Revision 0.1
  
  This is almost certainly an alpha infrastructure bug, not a FICL
  problem.  It's probably the same thing that made FICL fail for no
  apparent reason on the Alpha.
