Some more diagnostics, it seems that the sh4 FTBFS is related to the alpha problem.
On sh4, the builds are also failing due to issues with local symbols [1]:

/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/scripts/check-local-export fs/reiserfs/xattr_security.o
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/scripts/check-local-export: line 54: symbol_types[${name}]: bad array subscript
make[5]: *** [/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/scripts/Makefile.build:254: fs/reiserfs/xattr_security.o] Error 1
make[5]: *** Deleting file 'fs/reiserfs/xattr_security.o'
make[4]: *** [/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/scripts/Makefile.build:470: fs/reiserfs] Error 2
make[3]: *** [/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/Makefile:1876: fs] Error 2

And for a local build, I'm getting the following failure:

   /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/scripts/check-local-export fs/unicode/utf8-core.o
fs/unicode/utf8-core.o: error: local symbol '__ksymtab_utf8_casefold' was exported
make[5]: *** [/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/scripts/Makefile.build:254: fs/unicode/utf8-core.o] Error 1
make[5]: *** Deleting file 'fs/unicode/utf8-core.o'
make[4]: *** [/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/scripts/Makefile.build:470: fs/unicode] Error 2
make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

So, we might have to investigate the recent changes to the scripts/check-local-export script.
