[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] configure: Detect when glibc implements makecontext() to always fail

[Peter Maydell]

Improve the configure test for presence of ucontext functions by
making linker warnings fatal; this allows us to detect when we are
linked with a glibc which implements makecontext() to always return
ENOSYS.

Compiling on an Ubuntu Natty ARM host will hit this.
(Anybody think we should clean up our configure tests so we can
enable -Werror and -Wl,--fatal-warnings on all of them?)
