The problem is that on Alpha an int has 4 bytes, and a string literal
8, since it is a char*. So it just doesn't fit. No way. If you cut off 
the top 4 bytes, the pointer will be invalid (fortunately Alpha Linux
was designed for this effect :)

I don't really know what this is supposed to do, but you could
probably make a global array with the strings and use an index into
it.
