12 to build qemu, qemu-CPU and libqemu.a (CPU is the name of the various
13 supported target CPUs).
19 to install QEMU in /usr/local
24 In order to compile QEMU succesfully, it is very important that you
25 have the right tools. The most important one is gcc. I cannot guaranty
26 that QEMU works if you do not use a tested gcc version. Look at
27 'configure' and 'Makefile' if you want to make a different gcc
30 host gcc binutils glibc linux distribution

46 [1] On Alpha, QEMU needs the gcc 'visibility' attribute only available
47 for gcc version >= 3.3.
48 [2] Linux >= 2.4.20 is necessary for precise exception support

52 [4] gcc 2.95.x generates invalid code when using too many register
53 variables. You must use gcc 3.x on PowerPC.
