This reminds me of:

commit 6fa9ba09dbf4eb8b52bcb47d6820957f1b77ee0b

    target/m68k: Switch fpu_rom from make_floatx80() to make_floatx80_init()

    GCC 4.7.2 on SunOS reports that the values assigned to array members
are not
    real constants:

    target/m68k/fpu_helper.c:32:5: error: initializer element is not
constant
    target/m68k/fpu_helper.c:32:5: error: (near initialization for
'fpu_rom[0]')
    rules.mak:66: recipe for target 'target/m68k/fpu_helper.o' failed

    Convert the array to make_floatx80_init() to fix it.
    Replace floatx80_pi-like constants with make_floatx80_init() as they are
    defined as make_floatx80().

Yeah it is not easy to figure...

Try 'make run-tcg-tests-i386-softmmu'
but you need docker :^)

(There is also 'make check-softfloat', listed in 'make check-help')
