For what it's worth, the same seems to happen here with an i386 guest on
an i386 host.

If I compile (i386-softmmu/qemu and thus) i386-softmmu/op_helper.o with
Fedora rawhide's current gcc (i.e. 4.4.0 20090307 (Red Hat 4.4.0-0.23))
qemu segfaults very early too. If I recompile just that file with gcc34
(i.e, 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-13)) qemu does not segfault very
early anymore.
