I really would try James' patch.  It's a lot cleaner than my first
patch.  If you used "build.sh -u" to do an update build, you could back
out my patch, apply James', do a "<tooldir>/bin/nbmake-alpha cleandir"
in the src/sys/arch/alpha/stand directory and redo the build.sh.

You could just touch <destdir>/usr/mdec/bootxx_lfs if you want
quick results.

Cheers,
