I've a European keyboard layout with an extra key (labeled |\) between
left shift and the letter X.  I've remapped it to Super with this
command:

  xmodmap -e 'keycode 94 =3D Super_L Super_L' -e 'clear mod4' \
          -e 'add mod4 =3D Super_L'

The keycode for Alt_R is 113, so replace 94 with 113 in the above
command and it should work.

There are also a couple of extra Thinkpad keys (previous workspace/next
workspace) with keycodes 234 and 233.  I've mapped one of them to
Multi_key (aka compose), and tried (unsuccessfully) to map the other one
to become an Alt.

(I created a shell script and added it to my GNOME session, to run
*after* gnome-settings-daemon changes the keyboard layout.)

If Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem.
