postgresql-9.4 FTBFS on alpha. From the build log [1]:

/tmp/ccNKo8Fb.s:764: Error: unknown opcode `rmb'
as: BFD (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.24.51.20140709 internal error, aborting at
../../gas/write.c line 603 in size_seg
This occurs because in src/include/storage/barrier.h the definition of
pg_read_barrier() for Alpha maps to the CPU instruction "rmb" but there
is no such CPU instruction on Alpha!
I attach a patch that fixes the pg_read_barrier() definition to use the
correct CPU instruction for a read memory barrier on Alpha. With that
postgresql-9.4 builds to completion on Alpha.
Cheers
Michael.
