Yes, the Alpha is 64-bit, but there are a set of compiler flags that
sort of "switch off" the top 32-bits of each word, and reduce the
address space of the binary such that it must be loaded in the first 4Gb
of virtual address space.
They were used to port a lot of VMS code that had all sorts of silly
assumptions about various things being the same size, or being less than
32-bits away.
As I said, I no longer have access to an Alpha, and can't find any of
the Makefiles that I used with these flags, although "-taso" rings a
vague bell.
Of course, they may have removed these flags since I used them, which
was back when DEC was still DEC!
Cheers,
