[Qemu-devel] Configuring qemu on Solaris

[Andreas Färber]

Hi,

The following part of configure is triggered on a fully-updated  
Solaris 10 8/07 amd64:

#
# Solaris specific configure tool chain decisions
#
if test "$solaris" = "yes" ; then
  #
  # gcc for solaris 10/fcs in /usr/sfw/bin doesn't compile qemu  
correctly
  # override the check with --disable-gcc-check
  #
  if test "$solarisrev" -eq 10 -a "$check_gcc" = "yes" ; then
    solgcc=`which $cc`
    if test "$solgcc" = "/usr/sfw/bin/gcc" ; then
      echo "Solaris 10/FCS gcc in /usr/sfw/bin will not compiled qemu  
correctly."
      echo "please get gcc-3.4.3 or later, from www.blastwave.org  
using pkg-get -i gcc3"
      echo "or get the latest patch from SunSolve for gcc"
      exit 1
    fi
  fi

Depending on the path of gcc, configure bails out. The text appears to  
indicate that "the latest patch [...] for gcc", whichever that may be,  
fixes some compilation issue.
Since the script does not try to detect the presence of such a patch,  
can we remove the exit and keep the text as a warning only?
Or can someone comment on what the corresponding Solaris patch id or  
gcc version is in order to make this conditional? The system gcc  
version is 3.4.3 here and it appears to compile fine.
