I just sent out a patch that should fix the build issue.  Let's see what 
it takes to resolve this before we talk about disabling for 0.16.

Again, there's zero risk to QEMU for having this enabled so if we can 
resolve the build issues, and I don't see why we can't, then there 
should be no real problem here.
