Ehm, let me clarify this thing. This file is part of a patch I submitted a
few days (or maybe hours) before 6.4.2 was released. Bruce applied the
whole patch to the 6.5 tree, but only a part to the 6.4.2 tree,
because he considered that the whole patch was too "dangerous" to apply
(because there wasn't time to test whether it affected the other
platforms). So, the 6.4.2 tree has template/alpha, and the 6.5 tree
has template/alpha_cc and template/alpha_gcc, but not template/alpha.

Since then, I haven't had the time to download and test the 6.5 branch to
see how things are now (for DU 4, at least). I will do it ASAP.

BTW, Compaq has changed the operating system's name from "Digital Unix" to
"Tru64 Unix". I will update the docs to reflect this change when I have
the time.
