pressume you mean running SLES 10 64bit as a guest under QEMU here.
which version of qemu for the host? and what platform/arch?

the gcc that is used for the glibc in the guest should be irrelevant if all
the emulated instructions are correctly compiled in the host and there are no
bugs on them of course.
the host has to be compiled with gcc 3, gcc 4.x won't work even if it
compiles.

movapd is actually an SSE2 instruction, and that seem to be the main
difference between this function and the one from Debian (which uses only SSE)
just like the one from my host (Gentoo)

hopefully you already did.
