No, It's new for me. But the last time when I used "-icount" must be
several years ago, so I have to look.

That might be a possible. I think there are not many QEMU users running
it on 32 bit Linux, especially not to emulate a 64 bit guest. We should
test this first, as testing and debugging QEMU on Linux is much easier
than on Windows.
