[Qemu-devel] running 64 bit user mode program on 32 bit host machine

[Yongbok Kim <yongbok.kim@imgtec.com>]

Hi All,

I have faced a problem to run a simple 64 bit Linux user mode 
application on
32 bit Linux host machines.
I did some investigation and found out that the TARGET_ELF_PAGESTART 
macro in
the linux-user/elfload.c is causing the problem.
However I am not sure if this is the right solution as I am not familiar 
with
the area.
Perhaps the macro should take care of target’s bits width rather than 
just use
unsigned long.
Would you please confirm the change or suggest better solution?

Regards,
Yongbok
