Yes.

If necessary yes.  The patch obviously would need to be changed to be 
conditional not only on HOST_I386 but also on GCC version.  Better to do 
benchmarks first, if it's worthwhile.

Do you mean my patches?

It seems target-z80 doesn't exist in CVS, apart from that there's a small 
s/target_ulong/ppc_gpr_t/ in the target-ppc hunk.  Otherwise it applies 
just fine (I'll attach the patch against CVS, in case pine managed to 
mangle it last time).

I just tested the attached patch with qemu fresh from CVS on HOST_I386 
with target i386 (no kqemu, so it's really emulating), and target mipsel.
It works just fine.  (gcc 4.1.2 for that matter)
