Bug Description

I am requesting a feature freeze exception for a new upstream version of qemu-linaro. It fixes a number of bugs, including this build failure and a number of other bugs in the ARM emulation. The Linaro changelog since the 2011.06 release is:

version 2011.08:
 - Fixes #816791: ARMv6 cp15 barrier instructions now work
   in linux-user mode as well as system mode
 - Support for ARM1176JZF-S core has been added (thanks to
   Jamie Iles <email address hidden>)
 - Add workaround for kernel bug #727781 (which has resurfaced
   in 3.0) to suppress warnings about bad-width omap i2c accesses

version 2011.07:
 - Fixes a compile failure on ia64 hosts
 - Fixes #728630: syscall 369 (prlimit64) implemented in
   linux-user mode
 - Fixes #802228: fix an ELF loader bug that caused problems
   with binaries generated by the Google Go compiler

It also includes many other, unauditable changes inherited from qemu upstream which on balance appear to also be an improvement. Many of these will not affect qemu-linaro because they are specific to i386, which is built from a different branch for Ubuntu (qemu-kvm).

An FFe was also considered for qemu-kvm, but in the end was dropped only because this is a core component for the server team and they could not justify the risk (bug #827831) - but it held up to a good amount of testing.

The qemu-linaro release has also undergone significant testing, as qemu-linaro 0.15.50-2011.08-0ubuntu3 is the current version in the linaro-maintainers/tools ppa since the end of August.

This is the result of a bug in the configure script which was fixed by this commit:

That is in 2011.07 but not 2011.06.

qemu-linaro-0.15.50-2011.08 has been confirmed to build OK on oneiric.

I can confirm that 0.14.50-2011.06-0-0ubuntu1 gets further with that patch; it does trip over a lot of set-but-not-used warnings converted into errors that I had to comment out to get it to build in random other bits of the code - some of which do look like real bugs.

The easiest thing would seem to be to pull it up to 0.15.50-2011.08
