Here are some notes about the current problems with the current
version of Kaffe (fetched as kaffe-snap.tar.gz today) when trying to
compile it on Alpha/Linux.
I have no knowledge of Alpha assembly, so I hope someone else could
make some use of these notes to get the Alpha port working.
[config/alpha/linux/jit-md.h]
The macro EXCEPTIONFRAME(f, c) is not correct. The return value
from TCTX(currentThread) does not have a struct member exceptPtr
[config/alpha/jit.h]
The macro FIRSTFRAME(f, o) is not correct. The return value from
THREAD_CTX() does not have a struct member exceptPtr
Apply this patch to get the FIXUP_TRAMPOLINE_DECL to match the one
for i386 and sparc.

nfm = (exceptionFrame*)(((exceptionFrame*)fm)->retbp);
The alpha port doesn't have a retbp member of that struct.
I'll be happy to test any patches or new releases.
Happy hacking,
