The memscan problem can be easily solved, IIRC (haven't looked since 2.4.9
was released, so I don't know what 2.4.10 did/didn't do). As you've
stated, the problems are a bit extraneous since at least usbkbd will
probably not be used on most Alpha machines anyway. UDF is a slight
concern, although you're the first that I know who's even compiled the
module on Alpha. sunrpc, however, should work and that problem needs to
be fixed. If you haven't already found a way to fix it, I can take a look
if you'd like.
