[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] configure: Define OS_OBJECT_USE_OBJC=0 for MacOSX builds

[Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>]

MacOSX 10.8 ("Mountain Lion") defaults to trying to use automated
reference counting on certain objects.  This means that the system
header files will use some Objective C syntax constructs even when
compiling pure C, which confuses mainline gcc. Suppress this by
setting OS_OBJECT_USE_OBJC=0. This avoids a compile error like this:

[with a large number of further run-on errors]
