The floating point exception shown in the build log occurs in the libgsl
code; confirmed via tests on my alpha.  FPEs on alpha are almost always
caused by not building with -mieee.  With gcc-4.0, upstream has again
decided, for God knows what reason, that -mieee should not be enabled by
default on alpha, which is a regression versus gcc-3.3, so libgsl0 will need
to be explicitly built with CFLAGS=-mieee on alpha.  (bogofilter itself
already does this.)
