May I suggest the following simple patch:

+++ macros      2007-09-19 09:59:10.000000000 +0200

Comment 1 Panu Matilainen 2007-09-27 09:51:56 UTC 
Adding something like that is not a problem as such, what bugs me is that the
"all" macros are such a hodgepodge naming-wise: %{ix86} for all x86, %{arm} for
all arm processors and now %{all_alpha}... 

Oh well, the old names can't be changed without breaking half the worlds specs
relying on them, new ones can of course be added. I'd actually prefer %alpha_all
to keep it in alpha* "namespace" if that's ok?
Comment 2 Oliver Falk 2007-09-27 10:27:10 UTC 
We cannot use simple %alpha, can we? I'm not sure... ifarch alpha and ifarch
%alpha would be different then!? But someone could over read that...

Maybe stick with %alpha_all :-) That's fine for me!
Comment 3 Panu Matilainen 2007-09-27 10:39:03 UTC 
%alpha is possible, sure, just potentially somewhat confusing as like you say,
"%ifarch alpha" vs "%ifarch %alpha" are then entirely different, but then so is
"patch" and "%patch"...
Comment 4 Oliver Falk 2007-09-27 11:02:41 UTC 
Then we use %alpha. The problem persists with other macro/non-macro definitions
as well. Using %alpha only we have the same naming as x86, arm, ...
OK Panu?
Comment 5 Panu Matilainen 2007-09-27 11:13:21 UTC 
Done deal :)

Upstream now, will be in 4.4.2.2 when released -> in Fedora after test3-freeze.
Comment 6 Panu Matilainen 2007-10-03 11:17:29 UTC 
In rawhide now (but only available for builders atm due to freeze)
Comment 7 Oliver Falk 2007-10-03 18:51:18 UTC 
That's fine. Thx.
