Re: 4.4.0-rc3 tagged

On CentOS release 5.10 (Final) I hit QEMU bug #1257099:

lt LINK libcacard.la
/usr/bin/ld: libcacard/.libs/vcard.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `vcard_buffer_response_delete' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1257099

Based on

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-01/msg01826.htmlhttps://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-01/msg01826.html

it should make it into QEMU at some point.

So now I either change tools/Makefile to include "--disable-smartcard-nss" for QEMU or use the patch:

Subject: [PATCH] tools/Makefile: Change QEMU_XEN_ENABLE_DEBUG to an add to
  allow for additional QEMU options.

This is currently needed to work around QEMU bug #1257099 on CentOS 5.10

I.E. via

export QEMU_XEN_ENABLE_DEBUG=--disable-smartcard-nss

and also:

This gets me to:

Not sure how to work around this.
