There have been several earlier threads on this.  Here's one I started back in 
June: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2007-06/msg00303.html

It was still broken, last I checked.  I'd try to do a git bisect, but 0.9.0 
was still broken and if you go back too far it can't find "gcc-3.4" and barfs 
because the gcc everything else in the world builds with is 4.x.  (What broke 
it was moving the system to glibc 2.5, I.E. upgrading Ubuntu to 7.04.  Old 
versions of qemu don't run against that either.)

It only affects user mode, not system mode, and only the i386 target, so I 
just delete that executable after the install so nothing tries to use it.
