Illegal instruction usually means that the programm uses instructions
that the CPU doesn't know about.
Are your shure that your have an EV67 CPU?
Dmesg should tell you in CPU probe messages.

Don't know about DS20E, but a DS10L only has EV6:
COMPAQ AlphaServer DS10L 466 MHz, 462MHz
8192 byte page size, 1 processor.
CPU: EV6 (21264) major=8 minor=4 extensions=0x303<BWX,FIX,MVI,PRECISE>
