I have rebuilt in a pure Slackware 12.0 chroot in which I have replaced the
GCC 4.1.2 system compiler that runs from /usr/bin  with a previously 
built GCC
3.4.6 that also runs from /usr/bin and I agree that it builds this way. 
I will keep
building in this chroot then for the foreseeable future until QEMU is 
ready for
GCC 4.

Do you have any idea of what else is needed to get QEMU to a usable state on
MIPS hosts? Are there any other ideas for virtualisation such as Xen or 
VMware/
SimOS? I have asked on the Xen-devel list but nobody gave any feedback 
there.
