Hmm, very weird. Must be a quirk of your compiler, maybe it doesn't
understand -fno-reorder-blocks -fno-optimize-sibling-calls
properly. 2.96 is pretty ancient and not even an official gcc release,
so I am not sure anybody is interested in making qemu work with
it. I'd advise to upgrade to 3.3.

Also, kernel 2.4.3 doesn not support getting the fault address in a
signal handler (unless Red Hat patched that in). I don't know how
essential that is for qemu, though.

Finally, qemu does currently not work on Alpha anyway, and only worked
for very simple programs previously, maybe Fabrice will have a look at
it, I don't have time currently, unfortunately.
