zdump -v does not correctly work on alpha.
cat /proc/cpuinfo

Tested with zdump 7.64 and the last available version 8.3 on
tzcode2007b.tar.gz

My report is #412569 against libc-2.3.2.ds1-22sarge5 and gcc-3.3.5-13 on
debian BTS

After compilation of zdump from tzcode2007b.tar.gz with
make zdump

alpha300:~# ./zdump --version
@(#)zdump.c     8.3
alpha300:~# ./zdump -v /etc/localtime
/etc/localtime  -9223372036854775808 = NULL
/etc/localtime  -9223372036854689408 = NULL

As it fail too with this last zdump available, I would think I need to
report it there too.

I find other report related to 64bits arch on debian BTS
#266438: zdump -v causes core dump on IA64 Linux  Package: libc6.1
(2.2.5-11.2; fixed: glibc 2.3.5-3);

#402776: zdump -v errors on 64 bit architectures Package: libc6.1 (glibc
2.3.6.ds1-8, 2.3.6.ds1-10);
