It's an Alpha thing. I started looking into this bug a few weeks ago, but
got busy with other things. One thing I do know that needs to be done is
adding "-mieee" to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS on Alpha. It would probably be
best to add this into the autoconf parts of the package rather than the
rules script (which is how I was experimenting with it). I'll look at it
more tonight, if time allows (my main PC just died last night, so I need
to try to repair it).
IIRC, adding -mieee solves the segfault problem, but I believe my
investigation got interrupted before actually exercising aptitude more to
see if there were other problems.
