This looks like an old bug that I thought had been fixed.  The source of the
problem used to come earlier in the build process, during configure. Could
you please send the build log to me?

Otherwise, can I have access to an alpha machine with the build-deps
installed?

Oh, it is too bad, in particular because we have a release scheduled in the
near future.  Will alpha be a supported architecture in sarge?
