Oh, no. I forgot upstream dropped further support on Alpha. Upstream's reasoning being that they didn't have a machine to develop/test on. While we could add the --disable-spinlocks argument for Alpha, there would be a serious performance drop from 9.4 to 9.5. http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit;h=a6d488cb538c8761658f0f7edfc40cecc8c29f2d So, do we keep it, or drop it?
