NetBSD/Alpha 1.4.1, PostgreSQL 6.5.3:
working, buggy: psql can't give a listing of tables, nor a listing of
fields in a table. Other tools (the TK interface, for example) have
similar problems. 

I have patches that I will hopefully get sent off tonight. These
patches get PostgreSQL compiling on the Alpha, but they don't fix
the bugs with tables, etc.

Ok, I'll volunteer to test the Alpha port. I hope you have a test suite
setup because I don't make heavy/complex use of PostgreSQL.

I may even be able to chip in a test run on a Sun 3. We'll see.
