No, on alpha.  Since nobody else seems to see this, it's probably
alpha-specific.

I can't tell.  I don't have access to FreeBSD/i386.  Again, it
*probably* is alpha-specific since it breaks such central ports as
GTK, and I would expect to see a lot of screaming and yelling if
this affected more people.
