porting to freebsd alpha

Hello!

Ive tried to make postgresql compile on freebsd for alpha.
So far Ive changed backend/main/main.c
to look like this .

18 #if defined(__alpha) && !defined(linux)
19 #include <sys/param.h>
20 /* #include <sys/sysinfo.h>
21 #include <machine/hal_sysinfo.h> */

( it gets defined as alpha not linux by configure i assume )

The compile gets as far as this.

gcc -o postgres access/SUBSYS.o bootstrap/SUBSYS.o catalog/SUBSYS.o
commands/SUBSYS.o executor/SUBSYS.o lib/SUBSYS.o libpq/SUBSYS.o
main/SUBSYS.o parser/SUBSYS.o nodes/SUBSYS.o optimizer/SUBSYS.o
port/SUBSYS.o postmaster/SUBSYS.o regex/SUBSYS.o rewrite/SUBSYS.o
storage/SUBSYS.o tcop/SUBSYS.o utils/SUBSYS.o ../utils/version.o -lcrypt
-lcompat -lln -lm -lreadline -lhistory -ltermcap -lncurses
-export-dynamic
storage/SUBSYS.o: In function `s_lock':
s_lock.c(.text+0x410c): undefined reference to `TAS'
s_lock.c(.text+0x4110): undefined reference to `TAS'
gmake[1]: *** [postgres] Error 1

Now ive tried to understand how and where it gets decided where it should
take its test and set code from , but this is like walking in a mist for
me ( at least at the moment).

Any hints on what I could do to take this compile further ?

Thanks in advance.
