Hi,
Under qemu-0.8.2 when emulating i386 -kernel in protected mode,
and if both the idt and gdt have length zero, then trying
to load a segment register loops for a very long time.

The problem is gnu-ld vs. sun-ld, rather than Linux vs. Solaris.
I cannot find an equivalent option for sun-ld.
32bit sparc.ld is also disabled under Solaris for that reason, and has
always been.
Thanks for the long explanation, I asked because the script was a quick
hack.
One odd observatio

I just learned, that the term "stuff" has a negative side-meaning:

The SDL patch is from Juergen Zimmermann.
I have not had any problems building 64-bit using --prefix /wherever/i/please
to both QEMU and SDL's configure scripts; note that adding wherever

Yes and no.

A few comments on the patches:
Is there some problem that can't be fixed with the sparc64.ld instead of
disabling it for Solaris?
The ARM/MIPS bits could be rewritten more generally with #ifdef AREG0
instead of _sparc_. Maybe these would be better handled once in
dyngen-exec.h so that that t
There's no such think as an Ideal cpu. It's like picking the right

In general true. But the real and toy CPUs are designed with the hardware
construction in mind, whereas the limitations deriving from HW (number of

Hello,
bringing up the tun/tap interface depends now on the capability CAP_NET_ADMIN,
which usually only root has.
This patch just removes this dependency, so normal user rights suffices again
