Um, I hate to ask this, but "what about FreeBSD-alpha"?

The reason I am asking is because of the contents of
http://home.swipnet.se/~w-82625/encoder/binaries/
(see pkgsrc/audio/bladeenc/) which has a FreeBSD-alpha
binary.

: ash ; file /tmp/bla*
/tmp/bladenc: ELF 64-bialfa# ldd /tmp/bla*
: ash ; ldd /tmp/bladeenc
/tmp/bladenc:
         -lm.2 => not found
         -lc.3 => not found
t LSB executable, Alpha (unofficial), version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
: ash ; /tmp/bladeenc
/tmp/bladenc: Exec format error. Wrong Architecture.
