Looks to me like something in that chain of commands is 
segfaulting--either bdftopcf, gzip, or the shell itself.  That's 
usually what "Error 139" is.  I myself don't actually run 
Debian, but I do know that stock XFree86 4.2.1 source can build 
on alpha (no guarantees about how it runs afterwards, of 
course).

Wild guess, but could be your gzip is broken?  What gzip version 
are you running?
