This is the changelog of qemu-1.0: == General == * i386-softmmu is no longer named ''qemu'' but instead referred to as ''qemu-system-i386'' for better consistency with other targets. A new tool is likely to be introduced that uses the ''qemu'' name so distributions are advised to not undo this change. * QEMU now uses a separate thread for VCPU execution. This merges the biggest difference between the qemu-kvm tree and upstream QEMU. * A new memory dispatch API has been added internally. A new monitor command "info mtree" can show the hierarchy of memory regions in the guest. * QEMU now has a build dependency on glib and makes extensive use of glib. * QEMU now can run on more hosts. Hosts without a native code generator can use the TCG interpreter (TCI). See [[Features/TCI]] for more information. == Block devices (disks) == * QEMU now supports I/O latency accounting in the monitor command "info blockstats". * Errors are now tracked per device and are shown by the monitor command "info block". * All image formats now support asynchronous operation. IDE and SCSI emulation will use this feature, while other devices (notably floppy and SD) will not. === IDE/ATAPI === * A large number of bugs were fixed regarding CD media change and tray locking. === SCSI === * Memory management errors could crash QEMU when scsi-disk encountered I/O errors. Many instances of this problem were fixed. * The accuracy of error handling for SCSI emulation has been greatly improved. * SCSI devices can now be addressed by channel, target (id) and LUN. Not all emulated HBAs will support this feature (in particular, the LSI controller will not). * Block device pass through is now supported through a new scsi-block device. The scsi-block device works with block devices (like /dev/sda or /dev/sr0) rather than /dev/sgN devices, and is more efficient because it does not consume arbitrary amounts of memory when the guest does large data transfers. * SCSI CD-ROMs now report media changed events. * SCSI CD-ROMs now support DVD images. * Bugfixes for IDE media change also apply to SCSI. * SCSI devices now report a unit attention condition when the system is started or reset. This may cause problems with old firmware versions. === VDI === * Now supports discarded blocks in dynamically-sized images. == User-mode networking (SLIRP) == * SLIRP can process ARP replies and gratuitous ARP requests from the guest. == ARM == * QEMU now supports the new Cortex-A15 instructions in linux-user mode (via "-cpu any"): VFPv4 fused multiply-accumulate (VFMA, VFMS, VFNMA, VFNMS) and also integer division (UDIV, SDIV). * The vexpress-a9, versatileab, versatilepb and realview-* boards now have audio support. * QEMU is known not to work on ARM hosts in this release. (ARM target emulation is fine.) === pSeries === * sPAPR VIO devices can now be created with -device. == Xtensa == * QEMU now supports DC232b and FSF xtensa CPU cores. * QEMU now supports sim (similar to Tensilica ISS) and LX60/LX110/LX200 machines. == Migration == * QEMU now supports live migration using image files like QCOW2 on shared storage Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 294839 [details] qemu-kvm-1.0.build.log.tar.bz2 Build fails with QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS="alpha mips mips64 mips64el mipsel ppc ppc64 ppcemb" on amd64 host. Others are OK.
Thanks. I used your ebuild as input to create the one in the tree.
Thanks. With useflag "spice" enabled, configure fails right at the beginning with the following output, though: ERROR ERROR: User requested feature spice ERROR: configure was not able to find it ERROR

I use SPICE and can't duplicate this issue.
