Ok, in fact the ELF_RelocationEntry() errors *are* related: if I install xserver-xorg-dbg, which doesn't depend on X's bletcherous internal ELF object loader, there's no segfault at all; the server starts fine. So a workaround for you is to use xserver-xorg-dbg for right now, but the xserver-xorg package is more or less completely broken on alpha. XSF, can we switch to using dlloader on alpha?
