This extract from contrib/binutils/ld/ChangeLog-0001 is hopefully better
worded:

2000-07-27  Ivan Kokshaysky  <ink at jurassic.park.msu.ru>

	* emulparams/elf64alpha.sh: Implement "-taso" emulation
	specific option to fit 64-bit executable in the lower
	31-bit address range.  This is done by changing start
	address of .interp (the very first section of executable)
	and then setting EF_ALPHA_32BIT elf header flag.

This stuff could be useful to have a native OpenOffice, for example.
