[Zope] Zope on Compaq-DEC-Alpha machines

[Stefan H. Holek]

No success here.

We tried this once but were not able to get Python going. We had all kinds 
of segfaults, stacksize and threading issues, a.s.f. Even with help and 
patches from local Compaq support. In the end we ran out of time and simply 
gave up.

If you manage to find or build a decent Python for True64, let me know. ;-)

Running Alpha Redhat proofed to be a better choice, allthough we had (and 
still have) garbage collection issues that result in heavy memory 
consumption on the Alpha platform.

For now we throw hardware (RAM) at that and are generally switching 
platform in favour of Intel.
