I'm seeing some exec failures on PPC32, but no hangs. I did have some
hangs in mmap but have just fixed these and am pretty sure the problem
is PPC32 specific.

I did do a run on an IA64 box last night with a 2.4.9 kernel and it
did run through to the end for me though had about 140 failures. Its a
stock debian kernel (sid distro), I don't know what patches they
applied.

I'd recommend trying a new kernel. Also Stephen Rothwell just posted
to linux-kernel a patch that will fix some of the utimes failures you're
seeing on IA64:
