Taking a look at kernel sources, alpha is most likely affected by this as well.
Adding to the CC, they should try to confirm this.

# find . -type f -name signal.h -exec grep -L SIGSTKFLT {} \; | grep asm-
./include/asm-um/signal.h
./include/asm-sparc64/signal.h
./include/asm-sparc/signal.h
./include/asm-mips/signal.h
./include/asm-alpha/signal.h

Are the affected arches ok with the upstream patch ? Please test & apply if so.

[Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) 2005-06-05 07:30:33 UTC]

added the upstream patch to 2.10.1 only (keep this in mind when stabilizing on
these arches). Please test.

Indeed libgtop didn't build on Alpha due to SIGSTKFLT errors. Now, with current
version of libgtop-2.10.1 in Portage, the problem has gone and compiles fine.

[Comment 5 Jason Wever (RETIRED) 2005-06-05 12:14:28 UTC]

Version in portage builds fine on sparc too.

[Comment 6 foser (RETIRED) 2005-06-09 05:02:45 UTC]

ok confirmed fixed, note to these arches again that this only got applied to
libgtop-2.10.1 and that version needs to be stabilized for them,
