We know why it's happening, but just not what's at fault yet. So far, it
appears that gcc is just generating unaligned things under very specific
conditions. But then again, I thought the same thing in the past when it
turned out to be the code, so that avenue is being explored as well. :-)

It's a good start. Usually the BTS is a great spot also. If the regular
maintainers have an alpha problem that they can't solve, they usually
write to us.

In this case, yes, since I know about it :-) The binaries that used to be
in libc6.1's deb have been moved per policy to libc6.1-bin. I know, there
should be a dependency. Joel (the maintainer of glibc for Debian) has
already stated that he's going to fix this in his next upload.
