I just realized that the original subject of my question was not accurate. I am trying to compile qemu to run on an arm host. I don't have an arm host yet. Until I get one, I am just trying to build and link it on an x86_64 ubuntu machine. (If I am already out of bounds at this point as I would need a different toolchain, I would appreciate pointers).
Meanwhile, I have also used the yocto project to build a 32-bit arm linux kernel and rootfs for “MACHINE ?= qemuarm" Presently, I have no access to an arm host nor the embedded arm board for the device yet. My problem is that I am unable to get a successful build of qemu-system-arm given the following build environment and configuration statement. Build Environment: uname -a Linux NewBnz-FX6800-01e 3.5.0-47-generic #71-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 19 00:00:07 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux gcc --version gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.2-2ubuntu1) 4.7.2 Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Qemu configuration ./configure --cpu=arm --target-list=arm-softmmu --disable-vnc --disable-sdl --disable-virtfs --disable-brlapi --disable-rdma --disable-libusb --disable-usb-redir --enable-pie I appreciate your help. The ramp-up on qemu source base is proving to be steeper than I expected. Thank you!
