I think doing it manually with gdb should be fairly straightforward.

Something like

        gdb /bin/true

and then in gdb you just do

        b main
        run

and then

        catch syscall group:process
        c

and it should stop at the exit_group or exit system call.

At that point you can just do

        info registers

and see if they match what user space *should* be. They'll probably be
complete garbage without the fix.

I do not have an alpha or m68k machine to test (and not the
energy/inclination to set up some virtual environment in qemu either).
But it should be easy if you already have that environment.
