# ./busbase
_bus_base() = 0x0
_bus_base_sparse() = 0x200000000
# ln -s Avanti /etc/alpha_systype
# ./busbase
_bus_base() = 0x0
_bus_base_sparse() = 0x200000000
# ln -sf Foobar /etc/alpha_systype
# ./busbase
_bus_base() = 0x0
_bus_base_sparse() = 0x200000000

It's not seeming like /etc/alpha_systype is affecting it at all.  In case
it matters, I have libc6.1 2.1.97-1 installed.
