It is indeed an incompatibility with the new libc. JDK used a private
symbol from glibc, which is no longer exported in the newer version.
It seems this is already fixed in JDK 1.4. Unfortunately, it doesn't
look like HP is working on an Alpha Linux version of JDK right now, so
your best bet is probably to stay with the old libc, or make a chroot
with it.
