Why are you doing this instead of using alpha/elf.h?
Yes, there are some things that could be shared with elfos.h, but some
of it it you'd have to undef and redo anyway. And if such undefs and
redoings were to be done, alpha/elf.h would be the place to do them.
I felt it easier to just leave things well enough alone in the working
state things were in before elfos.h was introduced.
This is further confused by elfos.h's use of dbxelf.h, which will cause
you difficulty with gas, which converts stabs to mdebug behind your back.
Which you can't turn off, as stabs does not support a 64-bit target.
Not applied until you let me know what else you're planning on doing
to the existing, reported working, alpha netbsd elf port.
