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.
