Subject: QEMU requires a 64-bit CPU host architecture?
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 09:45:20 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2c0d6ae0-eb06-4eed-87fe-0954ae59d951@tls.msk.ru> (raw)

Hi!

Is it intentional that qemu does not build utilities on 32bit hosts
anymore?

I understand system/user emulation on a 32bit host, where there are
quite some real difficulties with address space sizes.

But what's wrong with building qemu-img et al on a 32bit host?  It
doesn't require 64bit address space..

Thanks,

/mjt
