Loader:

0x2001cce0 <memcpy>:    mov     a0,v0
0x2001cce4 <memcpy+4>:  ble     a2,0x2001cf34 <memcpy+596>
0x2001cce8 <memcpy+8>:  subq    a0,a1,t5
0x2001ccec <memcpy+12>: cmpult  t5,a2,t5
0x2001ccf0 <memcpy+16>: bne     t5,0x2001ce88 <memcpy+424>
0x2001ccf4 <memcpy+20>: addq    a1,a2,a3
0x2001ccf8 <memcpy+24>: ldq_u   t2,0(a1)
0x2001ccfc <memcpy+28>: xor     a1,a0,t0
0x2001cd00 <memcpy+32>: and     t0,0x7,t0
0x2001cd04 <memcpy+36>: and     a0,0x7,t1
0x2001cd08 <memcpy+40>: bne     t0,0x2001cd70 <memcpy+144>
0x2001cd0c <memcpy+44>: beq     t1,0x2001cd24 <memcpy+68>
0x2001cd10 <memcpy+48>: ldq_u   t3,0(a0)
0x2001cd14 <memcpy+52>: addq    a2,t1,a2
0x2001cd18 <memcpy+56>: mskqh   t2,a1,t2

It dies with PC = 0 at that last address

I guess it is dereferencing a NULL pointer or something silly like
that?

Hmm, looking in src/libc/alpha/string/bcopy.S:

        /* src & dst have same alignment */
        beq     t1,bcopy_all_aligned

        ldq_u   t3,0(DSTREG)
        addq    SIZEREG,t1,SIZEREG
        mskqh   t2,SRCREG,t2
        mskql   t3,SRCREG,t3
        or      t2,t3,t2

So it looks like possibly a NULL source?
