I think there is quite a bit of information missing here? Which host OS / distribution are we talking about here? Which parameters were used for "configure"? Which QEMU version has been used? Is it still reproducible with the latest version? ... thus I wonder whether this should get closed, or whether it's worth the effort to move this to the new tracker at Gitlab?
