I punted on it for a while, and then ceased being the NetBSD/alpha
port maintainer in probably '97, and probably didn't properly pass the
baton... of course, for a while, there was no replacement
NetBSD/alpha port maintainer, so nobody to pass the baton too. 8-)
Really, in some sense, this is an artifact of NetBSD diverging so far
from stock tools and/or lagging behind in upgrading. Kinda lame. 8-)
