OK, I have added code in utils/adt/Makefile as:

    # seems to be required for some date/time stuff 07/19/1999 bjm
    ifeq ($(CPU),alpha)
    CFLAGS+= -mieee
    endif

This is in the current tree, not 6.5.1.  Please test and let me know if
this helps.  I also added a Makefile-visible variable called CPU.  Seems
we really don't have such a variable already available in the
Makefile-scope.
