The status right now is that I've disabled COMPAT_OSF1 on Alpha, and I'm not sure if there is an improper dependency of COMPAT_LINUX on COMPAT_OSF1, because I see calls like osf1_sys_wait4 in sys/compat/linux/arch/alpha/, but there is no dependency in the modules. Right now I'm waiting to see if the build cluster fails, to know for sure. If there is indeed a dependency, we'll have to untangle it before retiring COMPAT_OSF1. I don't think it is really complicated, the functions used are just wrappers, that we can easily move into Alpha's COMPAT_LINUX.
