You might see if the this patch helps:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2004-08/msg00015.html

You don't mention what sort of ARM chip you are using. qemu only supports 
armv4. It does not currently implement the armv4t or armv5 instruction sets. 
I have patches implementing armv5te, but they still need testing.
