It is.  -mcpu=ev4 is the conservative "works for everybody" flag.
Otherwise gcc will end up producing binaries that don't run on older
alphas when the compile is done on a newer alpha.

The -mcpu-ev56 vs -mcpu-ev4 cpu is almost certainly a red herring.

How about building it with -g and running gdb on it and the core dump
to find out where its crashing?
