Fixed it!

  Modified files:
    sys/alpha/osf1       imgact_osf1.c
  Log:
  exec_osf1_imgact() should return -1 for non OSF1/ECOFF binaries, it should
  not return ENOEXEC.  This is because image activators should return -1 if they
  don't claim an image. They should return ENOEXEC if they do claim it,
  but cannot load it due to sime problem with the image.   This bug was
  preventing static compilation of the osf/1 module.  I'm surprised it
  did not cause more problems.

  Revision  Changes    Path
  1.3       +2 -2      src/sys/alpha/osf1/imgact_osf1.c


I've added a COMPAT_OSF1 option to the alpha port, so your way is
technically clear to add COMPAT_LINUX.  There are still the dynamic
syscall generation issues to sort out, though..
