I noticed that this also affects dev-lang/python

anything using HZ is broken ... but this failure is because alpha headers have:
/usr/include/asm/param.h:#define HZ             CONFIG_HZ

What needs to be fixed, then? All the apps failing?

the packages in question should not be using HZ ... they should be using
sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK)

however, i'm not about to start a crusade to fix said packages, so i'll just
fix asm-alpha/param.h like every other arch out there

should be fixed with 2.6.25-r2
