I think on Linux Alpha and Sparc alot has to do with the gcc compiler
version.
My system is handupgraded from Redhat 6.2, kernel 2.2.x to be using a
much newer kernel (2.4.X-aaX).
But it's been working flawlessly with almost any kernel from 2.2 up to
where i am now, using postgresql from the 6.x days.

What compiler version are you using?
Is this Debian release a stable branch?
