It's quite interesting - the arrogant and presumptuous assertions that are 
made.

On a different system (x86_64) - my everyday-use laptop, actually - I have 
only gcc 4.1.2.
If you're familiar with Gentoo, you'll know what this means:
gcc-config -l
 [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2 *


On this laptop, I run qemu cvs, configured as such:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-ac97 --enable-alsa --disable-vnc-tls --disable-linux-user --disable-gcc-check --target-list=x86_64-softmmu

and build with no problems.  I run it every single day.  in fact, it is 
running right now.  It runs ms and linux guests without problem.


Not supported?  Okay, fine.  But don't tell me it can't work.  The fact of the 
matter is that I use it daily.

Make configure fail horribly?  Well, that seems a bit counter-productive, 
don't you think?
