There are several problems:
1. compilation error: look at config.log. Perhaps you are missing a library.

2. Normally you should use the dosemu-freedos-bin from the dosemu website 
including kernel.sys, autoexec.bat, config.sys and command.com and the files 
in /bin. The dosemu-freedos is optimized for dosemu. You could run dosemu 
with MSDOS and DRDOS but not in all aspect with freedos.

3. If you want to boot a DOS partition you can not use dosemu-freedos. You 
could use dosemu with freedos and then mount the DOS partition as drive D: 
and work on that partition. Problems starting dosemu will be logged in 
$HOME/.dosemu/boot.log. Your attached file only shows the start messages of 
the dos you are starting. They show a problem of the dos you want to start, 
not of dosemu.

See /usr/local/share/doc/dosemu especially dosemu-HOWTO.txt although the 
documentation is somewhat outdated.
