Not a big issue, though, since 2.7 is still unkeyworded. I'll attach a log

glibc-2.8 has introduced a creat64.c file in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/wordsize-64/ which is a stub ... previously, the creat64 symbol came from io/creat64.c that implies the alpha port is supposed to be doing something special with creat64 that other 64-bit arches are doing ...
the difference is that on alpha, io/creat.c is used where as on x86-64, the creat.o is generated on the fly using the syscall.list ... dont know why the syscall.list isnt being used for alpha though ...
alpha lacks a creat() syscall ... glibc assumes that all 64bit ports do for an in-depth explanation, see upstream URL ... i think a workaround is to update sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/wordsize-64/creat64.c: #include <sysdep.h> #ifndef __NR_creat #include "../../../../../io/creat64.c" #endif
there was another (unrelated) alpha problem, but ive fixed them both and glibc-2.8 seems to be working OK for me on alpha. the patches are in cvs now ... http://sources.gentoo.org/gentoo/src/patchsets/glibc/2.8/6017_all_alpha-glibc-2.8-creat.patch?rev=1.1 http://sources.gentoo.org/gentoo/src/patchsets/glibc/2.8/6018_all_alpha-glibc-2.8-cache-shape.patch?rev=1.1
