Yes, I DO ! And I think I asked it politely. I am not a noobie in 
opensource community,
a bit surprised of your reply.  You may have had a bad day...or not read 
what I was trying to do...
but this should be off topic.

As contributor asking for qemu package in the target, I think normal 
trying it and improving it, if possible.
At time of writing  I managed to build the qemu system emulation, 
forcing it in the qemu.mk as a quick workaround:

ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_QEMU_SYSTEM),y)
QEMU_OPTS += --enable-system
else
#QEMU_OPTS += --disable-system
endif
