I have the same exact problem on MIPSel host as well.

Tried Qemu 0.14.1 and git from 110724.
Trying to run something from bash gives fork: Invalid argument.
strace gives clone(18874385,0,0,0,1084164376,1082144312) = -1 errno=22 (Invalid argument)
There is no alignment switches on this CPU.

So, it seems to be impossible to do useful user mode emulation of x86 from non-x86 platforms, which essentially makes the whole user mode emulation defunct.
