 GCL needs this for the imb() assembler routine:

 1) Is the header coming back?

I don't know what the Right Thing™ is, but xorg-server has this:
/* to flush the I-cache before jumping to code which just got loaded */
#define PAL_imb 134
#define istream_mem_barrier() \
__asm__ __volatile__(call_pal %0 #imb : : i (PAL_imb) : memory)

(hw/xfree86/common/compiler.h)
IOW it duplicates the kernel's definition of imb(), and uses it in
doLoadModule() and UnloadModuleOrDriver().

No, the policy for linux-libc-dev is to only expose and support interfaces
that are needed for userspace interaction with the kernel, which this is
not.

 2) If not, what is the approved replacement?

Copy the code; the X example cited should be a good starting point.

Yes, it's called libc.so.6.1 on Alpha, and also on ia64 AFAIK.

That chroot doesn't appear to have the current unstable version of binutils.
Have you tested that gclcvs even builds on i386 with this binutils?

 If there is an issue here, I suspect that gcc doesn't want an empty
 map file on input anymore.  Used to be the map option would not work
 unless the file already existed.

The map file used in my alpha test build wasn't empty.

 Any chance you might install a dchroot?

I'm waiting for some extra memory (to upgrade from 128MB to a whopping
384MB :-), and once I have that I also want to add a second disk. At the
moment I don't want to fill up the disk more than it is already (it's
also my mail gateway).

I'll let you know.

OK, though I don't see why.  When I get a successful .deb, on your
machine, I'll request a requeue on the buildd.  I wish there were some
way I could upload something to take care of per-arch temporary
brokenness without forcing all the others into a rebuild.

  3) Is my success a sign that this machine is trailing sid in some
 critical installed packages?
 
 It was up-to-date as of about 3 days ago... I've now updated it to the
 latest ftp.de.debian.org state.

Thank you!

Yes, the same version.  profiling seems exceedingly slow, but it

 If we're still talking about gclcvs on alpha, I would at least like to see

 the autobuilder as well in which case we have a supportability problem.
 

OK.  Will post an update hopefully later today.
