The test suite failures on mips* and s390x are reported in #812335
and upstream [1], with no comment whatsoever from upstream developers
in almost five years. I therefore have not bothered to burden them
further with the Alpha test suite failure.
When I investigated the Alpha test suite failure it became clear to
me that I was not going to make any headway in debugging it without
a much better knowledge of the pocketsphinx code base and I did not
have time to invest in doing that.
Cheers
Michael.
