Alphas with libc from between 20030312 and 20030329 exhibit
floating point exceptions (FPEs), most notably in awk(1)
while upgrading the system through a buildworld.
So, to successfully upgrade your Alpha, you must either
downgrade your libc.so to a pre-20030312 version, or update
/usr/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk to revision 1.26 which adds -mieee

cd /usr/src/lib/libc && \
make cleandir && make obj && \
make -DNOMAN -DNOPROFILE all && \
make -DNOMAN -DNOPROFILE install
