[RFC PATCH] alpha: make XTABS equivalent to TAB3

From: Eugene Syromiatnikov
Date: Thu Sep 14 2017 - 07:52:31 EST


XTABS is an old name for "expand tabs to spaces" flag, which was a
separate flag on some BSD implementations. POSIX, however, specifies
that this effect is enabled with TAB3 output mode.

Currently, alpha is the only architecture that has the value of
the XTABS flag not equivalent to TAB3.
