I think commonality with KVM would be preferred.

For most architectures, pre-GPLv3 binutils is good enough since the instruction set does not change anymore. Maybe only PPC and Sparc64 still change besides x86. New CPUs types more recent than 2007 will have problems. > > > -- > error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
