It has the same (erroneous) behavior. I ran across this while working
on GNU libc and it's fixed in my sources now, but I was hoping on not
having to do another libc-4.6.27-based release. If you can't wait to
have this fixed, let me know and I'll see about it.

PS: All it should take is to replace libc/sysdeps/linux/alpha/times.c
with times.S containing the following lines (and updating the
Makefile).

#include <sysdep.h>

SYSCALL__ (times, 1)
RETSYS(__times)
