Why would you want to use the host architecture for the guest, too? If anything this makes tests behave differently on different hosts. If, say, qemu-system-x86_64 is available depends on the configure options rather than on the host. And qemu isn't a symlink AFAIK, but the traditional name of qemu-system-i386 (or has this changed recently?). Kevin
