I am _not_ compiling for Alpha. However Hal was compiling for Alpha and I
only happened to have a similar problem so I replied to it. It sticked in
the topic line.

I am compiling for StrongARM (Netwinder).

Maybe the #defines for !__alpha should include also && !__strongarm__, but
there is no such macro (?). Maybe we should have a
USE_BUILTIN_FRAME_ADDRESS macro in "config.h" which would be usually true,
and false if on non-gcc, Apple, Alpha, ARM, ... (just a suggestion)
