Paul, thank you for you answer. I do have gcc-4 installed on my system
but I'm sure that I'm using gcc-3.4:

> gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r2 p1.5, ssp-3.4.6-1.0, pie-8.7.10)

As I read FAQ this version should be supported. I've tried to build gcc
without patches (ssp, pie, C++ support and some gentoo specific patches)
but qemu build process still fails at the same place...

Sorry, but what hacks are you talking about? The only hack I'm aware
about is that all system is build with newer compiler while to build
qemu I have to install old gcc.

Eh, I saw you talking about this and I'm aware that this will definitely
take time. That's why I asked for suggestion...
