As the DosEMU output says: "ERROR: Please report the contents of ~/.dosemu/boot.log at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=457447&group_id=49784&func=browse"

This is a bug in DosEMU.

And that's a bug in DosBox (furthermore DosBox is not supported for running arbitrary DOS programs, only for playing games -- although I guess you could write a DOS game in FPC and use that as case, since it'll probably have the same problems).

You have to build an x86_64 -> i386 cross-compiler first (or use a native i386 compiler, since all x86_64 platforms I know of can also run i386 binaries). You will also need cross-binutils targeting DJGPP 2.x to be able to link.
