Christos is NOT the maintainer of the Alpha port, and thus should not have approved this patch.
As the listed maintainer of the Alpha port, I disapprove of this patch, and would like for it to be backed out immediately.
I have specifically not introduced ptrace-based single-step support for the Alpha INTENTIONALLY. There is no need for it; it is already properly handled by GDB.
