I have another clue.  Something time-related is seriously screwed up
on this machine:

alpha$ date
Thu Nov  9 15:20:50 PST 1933
alpha$ date +%s
-1140568746

The interesting thing is that it thinks it's in sync with its NTP
server (whose time is definitely correct):

alpha$ ntpq -nc peers
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
*206.213.73.1    204.147.80.25    2 u  169  512  377    0.703   93.014  55.120

Looking at the hex time values shows that on the Alpha, the sign bit
is being set gratuitously.  I.e., the time should have the value
0x3c044d65, but on the Alpha it is 0xbc044d65.

Does anybody remember this as being a bug that was present in the
4.4-RC1 kernel?  That's what I'm running during the build.
