    This is a known problem for the 6.5.x and 7.0 versions of
PostgreSQL. You need to get a set of Linux/Alpha specific patches for
PostgreSQL and apply them. Then rebuild as you did, and everything should
work fine, including all regression tests.
    You can get the patches from my web site (see URL in sig) under
the software section. Instructions on how to apply them are also provided
on my web site. If you have any problems with the patches, feel free to
email me.
    Hope this helps, and good luck!
