This was a bug, is now fixed.

Well, as you've guessed, you'll need libraries and some other stuff
from an OSF/1 system.

Also, specifically for the seti@home binary, it needs some fcntl() ops
emulated which aren't yet emulated (i've written and tested the code
with the seti@home binary, but not yet committed it), and, depending
on the FP operations it uses and expectations it has, it may want
floating point software completion to be implemented (which
NetBSD/alpha does not yet do).
