Yes, that's the right thing to do, but note it's alpha-specific, and not shared with other platforms' COMPAT_LINUX. > Do we know if COMPAT_OSF1 has actually ever been supported on HPPA?

It certainly existed for PA-RISC, but was never shipped by the vendor. The OSF/1 compat we have in NetBSD is specifically DEC's flavor for the Alpha, and I don't recall exactly how far it diverged. -- thorpej
