qemu 0.7.0 for amd64

[Cyril Chaboisseau <cyril.chaboisseau@free.fr>]

Hi,

a new version of qemu is out :

and from the changelog, it seems that amd64/x86_64 is better supported
http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/changelog.html

OTOH, I've tried to build it but it fails towards the end
everything seems to compile pretty well until linking :

[...]
/usr/bin/ld:/home/cyril/src/qemu-0.7.0/x86_64.ld:62: parse error

here is the offending line :

  .eh_frame       : ONLY_IF_RO { KEEP (*(.eh_frame)) }


a quick googling gives me 16 results
http://www.google.com/search?q=ONLY_IF_RO+KEEP
but no solution (BTW, I'm not a developper nor do I have knowledge in
low level booting code)


has anyone any idea how to correct that ?

do I miss anything ?


BTW, an experimental package is on it's way
http://packages.debian.org/qemu


qemu is a very nice tools to boot i386 CD or disquettes on a virtual
session,
if you want to give it a try, do so with bootable/live cd such as
INSERT, DSL or the Ultimate boot CD
http://ubcd.sourceforge.net/

it can also boot Windows, QNX, <whatever>
