I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve with the copy, but
it seems likely to cause problems. Just do a build from the
git tree. If you don't want to put object files in your git tree,
this is what out-of-tree build is for: cd into the directory you
want to put the object files in, and run the configure script
from there:
 mkdir ../build
 cd ../build
 ../qemu.git/configure [usual configure options etc]
