Please be specific about what "latest development version" means. I
guess it means qemu.git/master?

If we are asking them to build QEMU then it would be nice to include a
link with instructions on how to build from source.

Is this necessary since we ask for the command-line below?

This sentence can be removed. Tracing is mostly for developers and
requires knowledge of the source code. People who can use tracing
already know about it and for the rest it doesn't count as "additional
QEMU logging" because they won't be able to use it effectively.
