This release wasn't built on beast.  It was built on a DS20 (which
is an EV6).  However, it should be built with '-mcpu=ev4 -mtune=ev6'
so it should not be using any !ev4 instructions.  Perhaps -mtune
is broken?

Hmm, actually, the whole release was compiled with
'-mcpu=ev5 -mtune=ev5'.  I do know that on alpha gcc "adjusts" itself
to whatever CPU it is built on, so maybe because the gcc in the release
make world was built on an EV6 it thinks it can emit EV6 instructions?

Weird.
