AFAICT, CONFIG_RTC on the Alpha seems to make the machine use the RTC for its system clock, rather than the original timer. Hence the extra RTC functionality isn't available, because the RTC hardware is already busy. So it's #ifdef'd out.
aack. you have it reversed. the original timer was the rtc. CONFIG_RTC switches that to the interval timer, making the rtc available for /dev/rtc usage. i stuck that in 2.1.x some time ago. just look in arch/alpha/time.c for the relevant switch. the patch you applied undoes that. fyi, i know that it's worked properly for the udb and eb164 at the very least.
