Subject: Build of 1.8.0 preview3 crashes on alphaev67-osf5.1

We run 3 alpha servers running tru64 5.1A (osf 5.1A).  The 1.8.0
preview3 default build crashes.  I could not see anything very wrong
in defines.h, and 1.6.8 built without this error (it did need a minor
fix in [socket].  The make output ends with:

Stop.

1)  What is my next step?
2)  Why is ruby building win32api?  I'm not running on a windows box.
3)  Is anybody out there using osf 5.1?  With preview 3?
