Compilation of cups on my alpha (1.6ZK) is failing in an odd (to me) way.

It actually stays there, not wedging the machine, but not going 
further until ctrl-c'ing out:
^Cgmake[1]: *** [libcups.la] Interrupt
gmake: *** [all] Interrupt

When on console, the last line of the hang was "sys/emul" so it would 
seem that it thinks that it's supposed to be using a linux 
compatibility mode? I installed
the 1.6.2 binary package after trying it a few times (make clean 
between tries).

Any ideas?
