supported target CPUs).

Tested tool versions
22
--------------------
23

    
24
In order to compile QEMU succesfully, it is very important that you
25
have the right tools. The most important one is gcc. I cannot guaranty
26
that QEMU works if you do not use a tested gcc version. Look at
27
'configure' and 'Makefile' if you want to make a different gcc
28
version work.

46
[1] On Alpha, QEMU needs the gcc 'visibility' attribute only available
47
    for gcc version >= 3.3.
48
[2] Linux >= 2.4.20 is necessary for precise exception support
49
    (untested).
50
[3] 2.4.9-ac10-rmk2-np1-cerf2
51

    
52
[4] gcc 2.95.x generates invalid code when using too many register
53
variables. You must use gcc 3.x on PowerPC.
