Historical reasons, of course. When Linux was all libc5-based, libc5 did
not work on Alpha so Alphas had to use pre-release versions of glibc 2

I had a very similar problem with version 1.2.5-4 in potato (segfault when
adding a `From:' line), which is indeed alpha-specific and is due to a gcc
bug. Recompiling compose.c with -O1 helps. An alternative solution would
be to change type of idxlen and idxmax in mutt_compose_menu() from short

Do the applications themselves lockup, or is it the whole system that
hangs when you run those programs? In the latte
tftpboot.img has no structure and consists of three parts: loader, kernel,
and ramdisk image. It's created by
make bootpfile INITRD=ramdisk_image_file_name
in linux/arch/alpha/boot/.
Debian scripts do basically the same, except they use a slightly modified
version of the loader (bootp.c)
