I had the same problem while trying to build qemu on OSX 10.6.1. Since  
I was only interested in basic arm-softmmu support without audio, the  
following horrible work around allowed me to move on :

$ ./configure --audio-drv-list= --target-list=arm-softmmu
$ make

That's right - no argument to '--audio-drv-list'.

Another thing that is a bit off is the mandatory cocoa support. Unless  
I'm mistaken (always possible), there is no way to build qemu on OSX  
without cocoa support, unless you hack the top level Makefile and  
remove the appropriate lines from the section for Darwin support.  
Since there is an '--enable-cocoa' option, one would assume that it  
should be possible to override this support.

HTH,
