We have documentation on the wiki currently about how to
build on various platforms:
https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/Linux
https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/Mac
https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/W32
I agree that we ought to move this into the main documentation.
Some of the information in those wiki pages is probably
out of date, but some of it looks like useful extra detail
that we could incorporate here.
I noticed that. Is the QEMU wiki considered as "deprecated" (no new
information there), or more seen as a complement to current manual?
My goal adding this to the documentation was to have a simple (and
single) "how-to" per platform, instead of trying to cover all the
possible details and configuration.
Would that be acceptable to add links to the wiki instead of adding all
information in our documentation?

I don't think this is the best place to put this information.
"How do I build from source?" is a question that most beginning
developers and some end users will have. The information in
build-system.rst is mostly about the internals of our
build system and how to modify it, which is a more niche topic.
I would be inclined to put this in a new file, maybe even
in docs/about/ rather than docs/devel.
I was not sure, and adding a new file for new developers seems to be the
best solution. I'll do it.
