   Sorry, but your patch is very wrong.

   If you have a look at the Makefile, you'll noticed that savelogo-alpha.c
 is really a link from savelogo-i386.c, so the problem should be elsewhere.
   I can't understand why this link isn't created for you though.
   See this extract from the Makefile:
savelogo.c:
  ln -sf savelogo-i386.c savelogo-alpha.c
  ln -sf savelogo-$(ARCH).c savelogo.c
       
    Anyway, I really want you to test DrakeLogo on alpha, since I can't test
  it myself (I don't own an alpha :( ).

    Tell me if it works as it should.

          Thanks,
