Hi,
I just sent a fair amount of time trying to figure out problems
with the qemu build and resulting binary. The first problem (which
is no longer a problem due to the shell OpenSolaris uses) was that
`sh' was used in rules.mak to perform commands -- I had a /bin/sh
that was not bash-compatible. That's a minor problem. The
more-serious problem was that once qemu was built, it would die almost
immediately, complaining about smbus-eeprom not being an I2C device.
That problem appears to be due to an issue with gcc's use of the
Solaris native linker (/usr/ccs/bin/ld) -- the linker is not including
all .o's in the .a's, even though the --whole-archive switch was passed
to it. The linker team is looking into that problem right now, but in
the meantime, manually performing the link step by specifying all the
required .o's yields a usable qemu executable.
Thanks,
