Some "ar" implementations don't allow empty archives, and failed to
build it. The real reason (which is hidden with GNU binutils) is that
our Makefile.am was incorrect, and didn't completely disable
libxiph.a.

mpd FTBFS on Alpha with a failure in the test suite [1]:
FAIL: test/test_byte_reverse
============================
.F...
!!!FAILURES!!!
Test Results:
Run: 4 Failures: 1 Errors: 0
1) test: ByteReverseTest::TestByteReverse2 (F) line: 58 test/test_byte_reverse.cxx
assertion failed
- Expression: strcmp(result, (const char *)dest) == 0
This occurs because the test suite (in test/test_byte_reversal.cxx)
allocates static char arrays and passes the char arrays to functions
whose respective arguments were declared to be uint16_t *, etc., in
the main code.
This is in the realm of undefined behaviour on architectures with
strict memory alignment requirements. Although the test only fails
on Alpha (because Alpha has a particular CPU load instruction that
gcc likes to use to add bugs ..., ahem, optimise the code on the
assumption of alignment) it is potentially a latent bug for other
architectures with strict alignment requirements.
Since the code is compiled with the c++11 standard I attach a patch
that modifies the test suite to align the non-compliant strings with
the alignas() attribute. The test suite now passes on Alpha with
that patch.
Cheers

This seems to be caused by a lacking include, fixed by the below patch.
I'm unsure what made this appear now, though, compiler and toolchain
libraries seem to be the same upstream versions that built 0.19.14-1
just fine in late March.
