FreeBSD/Alpha support


Hi,

While adding FreeBSD/Alpha support to GDB I discovered that libbfd
fails to build on alpha*-*-freebsd* since it tries to build OSF core
file support.  This makes no sense since FreeBSD/Alpha is ELF only.

The problem is the alpha*-*-* catch-all.  This probably should be
alpha*-*-osf*, but I'm not sure if it is supposed to be used for other
systems too.  Therefore my patch adds a alpha*-*-freebsd* entry that
doesn't do anything.

	Add support for FreeBSD/Alpha.
	* configure.in: Add alpha*-*-freebsd* entry to prevent including
	OSF core file support.
