[Qemu-devel] Qemu 0.5x not compiling with XFree86 4.3

[Theodore Ts'o]

Hi there,

I've been trying to compile qemu with XFree86 4.3 under Debian Unstable,
and it's been bombing out with the following error:

gcc  -static -Wl,-T,/usr/projects/qemu/qemu-0.5.1/i386-vl.ld  -o qemu-fast vl.o 
block.o ide.o vga.o sb16.o dma.o oss.o sdl.o libqemu.a  -lm -lSDL -lpthread -lm

If I forcibly remove -static, it seems to compile.  Is this a known
problem?  Is removing -static from the linker line the best workaround?

Many thanks!
