Unknown architecture :- add "DEC Alpha"

[maquis196]

Afternoon, now this is a bit niche, legacy and potentially too slow to be useful at all. (top end processors were around 1Ghz only), but there is a 64bit architecture not represented in the list.

Is it possible to add the DEC alpha? Or is there some "generic" option I could use to avoid "unknown architecture".

Cheers, Chris

I am not familliar at all with the DEC alpha architecture. Is it a Little Endian architecture? Do you what the ABI is, especialy then handling of vaargs?

[maquis196]

Hi, it is little endian, I don't have the ability to discuss vaargs, but it does have an ABI I believe;

It is called "alpha AXP" afaik.

Like I said, very old platform 😅

Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be exploring this.
