Not setting MACHINE_ARCH and changing as many environment variables
to command line options as possible didn't help.

Then I commented out the lines:

#export LDSTATIC=-static
#export MKPIC=no
#export MKSHARE=no

and got: "Successful make build" for both i386 and alpha.

Uncommented just the export LDSTATIC=-static line, and got:

Static linking worked for alpha in 3.x.
