With NetBSD, >ONE SINGLE SOURCE TREE is shared by all the supported platforms. Linux/alpha and Linux/i386 share the same source tree: you need to edit the top-level Makefile (change ARCH=i386 to ARCH=alpha) to compile the standard 1.3.22 kernel on the alpha. The other ports aren't integrated yet but we'll get there eventually (of the others, only the 68k port is reasonably stable). Linus
