Hi all,
I tried to compile qemu cvs head on my x86_64 linux with gcc 4.1.2 using
--disable-gcc-check, I found compile fails as stated in configure before i
disabled gcc check..
Error message, points to a problem of dyngen not correctly detecting
function ends on i386 when last instruction is a jump. I applied following
change and successfully compiled/run qemu i386. This extra test check for
a relative backward jump to function exit ret,
gcc 4 apparently generates a few of these.
My small change to cvs head is :
--- dyngen.c 2008-02-13 18:54:36.000000000 +0100
+++ dyngen.c 2008-02-13 19:10:14.000000000 +0100
