samba build-depends on ceph [1] but ceph hasn't built on Alpha for some time [2]. Looks like dtp-relative relocation errors during linking in the build of ceph [3] is the reason. I have a theory that gcc is not taking the spec file listed in its invocation arguments in the correct order with other passed arguments thus we are not getting correct linking for some shared libraries in the repository. That leads to FTBFS in other packages with these dtp-relative relocation errors. I haven't explored my theory enough to make a bug report against gcc. Cheers Michael.
