But I really dislike adding such noise to the history (it spoils "git blame" 
for example) if it is not really necessary. In this case, it also rather 
helps to show distros that they are shipping a buggy compiler and they 
should fix their compiler instead before it hits their users. So I think it 
would be rather bad to fix this in QEMU now.
