It was built on a previous alpha, so who knows what the differing
compiler/libs/kernel/etc did. The options used did *NOT* change, just
the userland used to compile it. (I.E. that package, running on
ALPHA10 is what broke).

that's one of the nice things about poudriere, it's a clean room type
environment, and uses canned options as set by the user, and I haven't
changed python options in a LONG (I.E. months/years) time.
