21.1.14 vs. alphaev5-dec-osf5.0

I've been running various versions of XEmacs 21.2 lately, but I thought I would try getting the new release 21.1.14, just for kicks. When I tried to configure it, I got this message: ./configure: XEmacs hasn't been ported to `alphaev5-dec-osf5.0' systems. ./configure: Check `etc/MACHINES' for recognized configuration names. './configure ... alpha-dec-osf1' worked, sort of (the tests in 'make check' report 100% success, but then it hangs; otherwise, xemacs seems to run okay). Is it worthwhile fixing configure to recognize alphaev5-dec-osf5.0? (On a related topic, should /etc/MACHINES be updated in version 21.2.43, to reflect the fact that alphaev5-dec-osf5.0 is recognized by configure?) -- John H.
