For NetBSD at least (in sys/arch/alpha/alpha/machdep.c):

                case '-':
                        /*
                         * Just ignore this.  It's not required, but it's
                         * common for it to be passed regardless.
                         */
                        break;

OSF^WDU^WTru64 might be different...
