FWIW, seems like Peter's patch got included here:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/5b30c53041d8f4c26ed3cf
... but I guess we still need a patch for the Networking section?

Title:
User-emu documentation mentions inexistent "runtime" downloads
Status in QEMU:
In Progress
Bug description:
The official documentation for the user-space emulator[1] contains
many references to binary blobs no longer provided by QEMU.org for
download. The parts mentioning them should be rephrased to avoid
confusion and instructions for building these components should be
provided (maybe as a reference to the LFS book with some scripts,
or... cut a deal with some super slim Linux distros). The specific
parts are:
* qemu-XXX-i386-wine.tar.gz, a wine build under the prefix /wine.
* qemu-runtime-i386-XXX-.tar.gz, a glibc build.
[1]: https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/user/main.html
In addition, the documentation contains many other instances of
inexistent "tar.gz" files, such as in "Network emulation". Most of
these are inherited from the days of texi documentation more than 10
years ago, and they are so old that GitHub's blame have become
unreliable. Someone really should run `fgrep -r 'tar.gz' doc' on the
QEMU source tree.
The issue was previously reported as [2], but nobody bother enough to
google the filename to find out where the confused user got the idea
from.
