Please let met get this clear: does this mean that people who want to use qemu to run individual apps (like most of us on PPC) rather than boot a full system are on their own now? Will support for user-mode qemu continue or will qemu eventually become a full-system emulator only? I think user-mode operation is just the greatest feature of qemu!

It's not that easy. What works one one distro, segfaults on another. I think we should really understand _why_ it segfaults. Therefor let me rephrase a previous question: Should qemu and the x86 binaries/libraries it runs in user mode be compiled with the same version of gcc? Or is this irrelevant?
