Thank you for your explanation. I cc your patch to qemu-stable because
fixing QEMU 1.7 for OpenBSD might be a good idea, too.

Reviewed-by: Stefan Weil <address@hidden>


If other hosts beside OpenBSD will need thismodification in the future,
I suggest modified code like this:

    if compile_prog "-fPIE -DPIE" "-pie"; then
      QEMU_CFLAGS="-fPIE -DPIE $QEMU_CFLAGS"
      LDFLAGS="-pie $LDFLAGS"
      # [...]
    fi

    if compile_prog "-fno-pie" "-nopie"; then
      CFLAGS_NOPIE="-fno-pie"
      LDFLAGS_NOPIE="-nopie"
    fi

(separate if blocks in configure and use CFLAGS_NOPIE, LDFLAGS_NOPIE
instead of CC_NOPIE, LD_NOPIE, this also needs a modified Makefile).

Regards,
Stefan
