It does not work. You'll need patches - the best working solution I  
found was Q (kju-app.org), which patches QEMU 0.9.0 as part of its  
build process, but that fails against QEMU CVS HEAD.

A newer GCC 4.x patch was proposed on this list the last months, but  
I haven't found the time for testing it on an Intel Mac yet, and last  
time I heard neither had the Q developers. So if you have some spare  
time to check I'd be happy to hear about your results.
