VAX vs Alpha compiles

[Hamilton, Allison]

If we were using compilers that were architecture specific such as the
OpenVMS language compilers, then you would have machine specific issues
involved.  We are using compilers (PowerHouse) that were designed to build
machine independent object code.  The object code format is defined by
Cognos, not by the architecture, so it should not be affected by it.
