if you're using the ucc binary, it doesn't link against the video
subsystems (ldd the System/ucc-bin binary and see for yourself)
the problem is, it appears the game and the dedicated server
have been both compiled for a particular cpu set.
i suspect you're using a k6/2 or k6/3 or something similar?
you're getting SIGILL because the game is attempting to run an
Instruction that's simply not available on your cpu. it promptly
says "i don't know what that instruction is" and the kernel has no
choice but to kill the process.

unless epic provide a dedicated server with different architectures
supposed, you won't be able to use that server, and i'd be surprised
if you could handle enough players to make a decent server 
(for teamplay at any rate, deathmatch would probably be fine.)

the requirements probably should have been put in the README,
but it IS an unsupported demo :)
