[Qemu-devel] So is QEMU permanently broken on Solaris 10 Update 5/sparc?

[Qemu-devel] So is QEMU permanently broken on Solaris 10 Update 5/sparc?

[Jonathan Kalbfeld]

I have a build script that builds it every single night with the same
options.  I still get "Bus Error" when trying to boot qemu with an
established i386 disk image.  I haven't been able to get it to work in
several months.  Is it my OS installation?

I saw some response about tcg or tcx, but I wasn't sure if this was a
work-in-progress or something wrong with my configuration.  I have not
changed anything else, and have been using the svn codebase.

Because of the switch to the new code generator (TCG), Sparc host is
currently broken. There is still some work to do. The good news is
that after that, any GCC version should be fine, even 4.x series.

When is the last version (datewise) that it works -- and does someone
have a tar file of that?  I want to build a package for Solaris
10/sparc and put it up for download.

0.9.1 was released beginning of January, TCG was committed on 1st February.

Maybe this one works:
