Not even the 10 remaining Alpha users. In [2] it was pointed out that parts of setarch weren't working properly on alpha because it has it's own SET_PERSONALITY implementation. In the discussion that followed Richard Henderson pointed out that the 32bit pointer support for alpha was never completed. Fix this by removing alpha's 32bit pointer support. As a bit of paranoia refuse to execute any alpha binaries that have the EF_ALPHA_32BIT flag set. Just in case someone somewhere has binaries that try to use alpha's 32bit pointer support.
