OK, I guess I managed to fix this particular problem, at least
for alpha. The build's still not finished, so there may be
other errors lurking out there.

Check the PR for details. The gist of it all is that new and
old GCC mangle C++ symbols differently. The build contains
implementations for some C++ functions in asm, and their
labels are mangled incorrectly for new GCC.

The fix I came up with is not too nice, though...
