I'm not sure what that above means.

1) There is no translation software for porting Alpha (or IA64) to X86, as has 
been mentioned several times over the past few years here.

2) Translating an IA64 image of the compiler would create a compiler
that creates IA64 objects when the newly-translated compiler is run on whatever 
target you've translated to.

If you are referring to images whose source was DIBOL, then see
statement 1.
