It could be that the VMS ALPHA compilers have some VAX-C compatibility in them,
such that (sort of)

#define globaldef
#define globalref extern

but it could be that whoever was hacking OSF-MOTIF decided to RUB IT IN
that there was something funny about VMS on the VAX, or perhaps an early
version of the VMS ALPHA C compiler didn't have those two trivial items.
