You will probably need to grab a copy of glibc 2.0 and run LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/old/libc.so.6 em86 to get this to work. I'd be interested to know if you do manage to get those old binaries to run on a current system. If you really can make them work, it'd be interesting to have em86 as a multiarch target for alpha... :) -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
