I use a Linux host and Windows XP guest and in the guest I use a user-mode debugger (Olly - http://ollydbg.de/) to debug a program. Software breakpoints work ok, but hardware breakpoints only work when I run __with__ kqemu (which is really weird, since the usual response for all the problems is "try it without kqemu" :)). Is this a known limitation or a bug? Should the code which sets the debug registers be augmented to flush the TB cache and the dyngen code changed to take into account the value of the debug registers (and raise an exception there)? But if this is the case, why does it work with kqemu enabled?

The following patch should fix the compilation of op.c and helper.c.

This been tested on solaris x86 (32/64 bit) and Ubuntu 7.10 (32-bit).  When
configuring on the 32-bit systems, I used --extra-cflags="-march=i686
-mtune=i686"
and both spill errors in op.c and helper.c are gone, and the binaries
will boot Milax (a Solaris based DamnSmallLinux clone)

Once the sse ops are converted to TCG, I imagine these hacks to the
Makefile.target file can be removed.
