The root cause is that FreeVMS is build against two different glibc 
versions, the once from the linux host and the old debian version that 
you added for debian 7. That is also the reason his only occurs on 
x86_64. I guess the linker error could have happened on other images, 
because the glibc clash produces  compiler warnings for almost all of them.

Sorry, I haven't had the time to look into this yet.

I have seen such a reboot, but that was when running one of my tests 
where I made a stupid mistake (I tried to dereference an integer value). 
So it is definitely not the same one you saw, though it might have the 
same cause given the compiler warnings about converting integers to 
pointers and vice versa. Once you know how to trigger it, use "log exec" 
in qemu (also make sure you specified a logfile), so you can pin point 
where it is triggered in the code.
