Which headers are these? When I try to compile it, there seem to be some
elf-headers needed.

in http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2003-07/msg00084.html Fabrice
said, that ELF binutils/gcc would be needed to compile some parts of qemu.
How to get ELF binutils/gcc in darwin? One would also need an
elf-compatible-libc to compile things with it, if I'm taken right.
