llvm dev - Jan 2012 - [LLVMdev] Alpha backend?

Is the Alpha backend currently being supported, as of 3.0? `llc -version` claims
that it exists, but various archived messages seem to imply that it's
currently unusable. I'd like to contribute a bit if possible, but I'm
not sure what the current state of that piece of the project is, or if anyone is
currently working on it.

Thanks.

The Alpha backend is no longer supported.
