What the error message you report says to me is,
"Machine check. Improperly aligned instruction."
I suspect you need a properly-compiled Alpha binary.
You may need a pragma (i.e., a compiler "switch")
to direct your compiler to output properly-aligned code.
I know nothing of the Alpha, but code alignment is an ancient issue.
The idea is that, to support hardware op-code fetch optimization,
some processors require, e.g.,
that four-byte instructions begin at addresses
that are multiples of four-bytes.
Some code streams (object files)
need to be "slugged" with no-op instructions
to satisfy alignment requirements.
Such things are generally handled automatically
when code for the target machine
is compiled _on_ the target machine;
but it may be that you will have to systematically alter
"canned" cc commands you get from the non-Alpha aware.
