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. John -- John Polstra John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
