A compiled-in Linuxulator is documented to be supported and therefore
mandatory. If we can't do that on Alpha for technical reasons then that
only means that the port is not yet complete (which is accepted
brokenness, because it's work in progress). Not being able to compile-in
the Linuxulator because we happen to build the Linuxulator in an
(gratuitously) incompatible way is unaccepted brokenness that can and
needs to be fixed.

Again: I think auto-generation is a good thing, but not like this...
