The attached patch fixes the problem with kexec-tools failing to recognize the alpha architecture; however, kexec-tools still fails to build on alpha because there is no kexec syscall available for this architecture: In file included from kexec/kexec.c:37: kexec/kexec-syscall.h:47:2: error: #error Unknown processor architecture. Needs a kexec_load syscall number. make[1]: *** No rule to make target `kexec/arch/alpha/Makefile'. Stop. So I would suggest dropping alpha from the architecture list in debian/rules as well, unless there's some reason to think this will be fixed soon.
