After I sent that message I noticed that they probably were correct
after all.  Sorry about that.  The reason I thought it was wrong was
because I was getting this error message:

  configure: error: The alpha is not supported.

And when I swapped them, configure worked.  It wasn't until I tried to
build it where I got this error:

  asm/prctl.h: No such file or directory

After some google searching I figured out the original was correct.


Here's the full log before the 'alpha is not supported' message in case
you have any ideas:
