Yeah, the endian problem is another story. Since Alpha only suffers from
a compiler problem relating to a dependency rather than a problem with the
source itself, I'd leave alpha in the arch list. The big endian problem,
though, is something else entirely and those archs should probably be
taken out of the arch list until the code is made more portable.
In reality, once qt2.2 works again on Alpha, I'm going to go back through
every package that build-depends on it and try building it anyway, so if
you'd like to take alpha out of the list for now as well, I'm sure I'll
let you know if/when we can be put back on that list :-)

Ugh..yeah, that's no fun :-(
