I tried to build some old versions to check history, but most of the older versions don't work without much older kernel headers. That plus phase problems where alpha build errors were fixed somewhat after the release. At which point it didn't seem worth doing much besides diffing vs the i386 abilist for sanity. There does appear to be an ld bug exhibited here, in that setitimer is not in ld.map, and yet currently gets exported from ld.so. Here's to hoping that most programs actually wind up binding to the version exported from libc.so, and if the bug gets fix this won't adversely affect abi compatibility. r~
