Current we support a minimum of 3.2 kernel and the following architectures
(using Linux terminology):

alpha

...

So on the kernel side we have done some archaeology and found out that Alpha is
the ONLY architecture which hasn't supported these features as far back as 3.2.
 It seems Alpha was left out because of lack of clarity between the Alpha and
tty maintainers, which then never got addressed.

Alpha is a historic architecture at this point -- the last Alpha chip was the
EV7z which was released 14 years ago.  I am wondering to what extent anyone
cares enough to worry about support for new glibc on old Alpha kernels at this
point; I kind of suspect the number of Alpha Linux users can be counted on two
hand's fingers.
