It is on our list.  Too late to get that into 6.5.1:

 * Make Absolutetime/Relativetime int4 because time_t can be int8 on some ports

I will not accept non-diff files.  See tools/make_diff or use cvs diff.
Is this the kind of Alpha support I get?  :-;

I have added to backend/storage/ipc/Makefile:

    # seems to be required 1999/07/22 bjm
    ifeq ($(CPU),alpha)
    ifeq ($(CC), gcc)
    CFLAGS+= -fno-inline
    endif
    ifeq ($(CC), egcs)
    CFLAGS+= -fno-inline
    endif
    endif
