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.
The patches I remember did either break other compilers or were a
maintenance nightmare of postprocessed assembler output.
I didn't say the particular patch was perfect, I can't tell. All I
know is that there are platforms that don't have a GCC 3.x (the Intel
Macs for instance), and syncing the existing 0.9.0 patches with CVS
HEAD is like shooting for a running target - I didn't manage to
successfully update the patch, it crashed badly. Having some initial,
conditional support for GCC 4 (e.g. --enable-gcc4 or depending on $CC
version) would be good. Do you know where exactly the problem is
between the versions and what needs to be done to have it working
(again)?
