Thanks for pointing that out, Matt also noticed this.

You are right: after b9a2dea54abd ("Remove fts64 compat handling from
sysdeps"), both io/fts.c and io/fts64.c are built directly, so the
Alpha-specific wrappers are not needed. I had overlooked that change.

I will send a v2 which drops the two Alpha sysdeps files and keeps only
the generic changes to io/fts.c and io/fts64.c, making the
implementation sharing conditional on both the offset and inode types
matching.

Thanks,
Magnus
