I'm not comfortable with this change... I'd prefer to keep the explicit flag. Is your debian buildd targetting mainstream QEMU or the Debian package? Can't you manage this as a Debian specific patch? Else, why not add a "hppa" case selecting TCI in the switch? This would be less invasive. > ;; > esac > if test -z "$ARCH"; then > @@ -1855,16 +1857,6 @@ if ! compile_prog ; then > error_exit "\"$cc\" cannot build an executable (is your linker broken?)" > fi > > -# Now we have handled --enable-tcg-interpreter and know we're not just > -# printing the help message, bail out if the host CPU isn't supported. > -if test "$ARCH" = "unknown"; then > - if test "$tcg_interpreter" = "yes" ; then > - echo "Unsupported CPU = $cpu, will use TCG with TCI (experimental)" > - else > - error_exit "Unsupported CPU = $cpu, try --enable-tcg-interpreter" > - fi > -fi > - > # Consult white-list to determine whether to enable werror > # by default.
