Created attachment 445126 [details] build.log Tried to install qemu 2.7 on my system and got a build failure at configure stage, with this message (full build.log attached): ERROR: sizeof(size_t) doesn't match GLIB_SIZEOF_SIZE_T. You probably need to set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to point to the right pkg-config files for your build target

Possible duplicate of bug 591202.
Can you please rebuild libpcre with static-libs use flag as discussed on bug #591202 and try again?
It worked. Thank you. Unlike the other bug report, I am not cross-compiling, and already had qemu 2.6 on my system, which worked fine. libpcre[static-libs] must be a new requirement with 2.7.
