It has never worked 100% and is currently pretty much broken.

First you should make sure you use gcc 3.3. Newer versions seem to do
something funny. Next it would be great if you could try to find some
very simple failing program (maybe write one?), to make debugging
easier. Last time I looked, it seemed to be something with signal
handling.

Alpha has a 32-bit cycle counter which could be used here, one just
would have to compensate for the frequent overflows. But it's probably
not worth bothering as long as the CPU emulation doesn't work...
