I don't know about this one in particular, but fwiw, last I knew the
statvfs() implementation on alpha is completely broken when built with
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, so this might be a likely
culprit.

The best fix in this case is to use $(getconf LFS_CFLAGS) instead of
hard-coding those flags in the Makefile.
