Dear list, I understand that the current "official" qemu needs gcc 3.x and won't compile with gcc 4.x
I also understand that using a gcc3-compiled module (kqemu, in the present case) entails a cgg3-compiled kernel. I successfully recompiled such a kernel and qemu. So far so good. However, this annoys me : the distribution I use (Ubuntu amd64) has switched (foolishly, IMHO) to gcc 4 for its' "native" kernels ... and proprietary kernel modules packages. Since using those proprietary modules (for video, etc ...) give a *huge* performance boost to my poor laptop, I'd rather use them for the time being. And since rebuilding those packages is (apparently) a $h!+load of work, I'd rather patch qemu sources and use a "native" kernel... Paul Brooks posted on May 12 a patch allowing compilation of qemu on a X86-64 host with GCC4. However, he didn't mention the use of gcc 4 for kqemu generation. So the question is : Does Pa ul's patch allow for successful compilation of qemu and kqemu with GCC 4, at least on X86-64 ? Thank you for your answers and comments !
