The > error message I get is the following: [...] I recently reported build failure of the ppc target on OS X due to an unsupported GCC feature but no-one has shown any interest in fixing it, neither applying my workaround patch nor proposing a different solution. It's a strange phenomenon that many other open source projects don't suffer - qemu seems to expect everyone to patch it herself instead of fixing problems in the repository at their origin. Major example being qemu clinging on to GCC 3.x instead of supporting both 3 and 4 by updating and integrating the existing patches that worked for 0.9.0. Andreas
