If you want to build a QEMU version this old on a newer
toolchain/glibc, you'll have to look through and find
the bugfixes and changes we've added since which allow
compilation on the newer setup. Usually you can find
the right fix by looking through the QEMU commit log
of a newer QEMU version and also googling for the
compiler error messages you're hitting, which should
bring up the qemu-devel mailing list threads where we
encountered and fixed the problems.

In this case, the answer is that you want the equivalent
of upstream commit 4d04351f4c3db3b70dc, which adds
an include of sys/sysmacros.h if necessary.
