What do you mean nothing? In that version
(http://mikro.atari.org/quake-src.tar.gz) you should see text output
-- either about loading or some error message, no way you see nothing.
If so, there's definitely some error in building/linking process --
maybe you could try gcc2 first.

If I remember correctly, there were even people who ran binary for
falcon on aranym (with some glitches), this version I provided above
is without (nearly) any HW-depend stuff so it should at least start
somehow...

this is no problem, I've tried to compile it under aranym but I don't
know how it's possible but with 256 MB I see "Not enough memory from
aranym" -- it fears to use swap memory? ;-) (My notebook has 512 MB)
So I switched back to 128 MB and here I see usual text output (so it
works for sure!) and than allocation error. I compiled it under aranym
using gcc4 + mintlib compiled against gcc4.

Try to install easymint, gcc2, mintlib, apply that headers.patch and
try to compile. It should work even on crosscompiler (I've tried cross
tools gcc2.95 + binutils 2.9 from sparemint site)
