With: app-emulation/bochs-2.2.6 [2.2.5] USE="X% debugger ncurses% readline sdl wxwindows -vnc%" bochs fails to build with the following error message: [...] checking for x86 debugger support... yes checking IOKit/storage/IOCDMedia.h usability... no checking IOKit/storage/IOCDMedia.h presence... no checking for IOKit/storage/IOCDMedia.h... no checking for CDROM support... yes checking for Sound Blaster 16 support... linux checking for standard PC gameport support... yes checking for gdb stub enable... yes configure: error: --enable-debugger and --enable-gdb-stub are mutually exclusive !!!

Perhaps the approach proposed in bug #121426 is something worth trying here?
You are right, I hope that this way everybody is happy with bochs.
