While I was searching for other errors in make check, I set up a few
machines on top of virtualbox to compile and check qemu master, and
make check failed in a few of them when compiling with clang (< 3.5)
(gcc works perfectly). I found two errors in acpi/tcg test in
tests/bios-tables-test.c
--- Error 1 ---

Platforms it failed (all on top of Virtualbox):

-disable-werror because of "clang: error: argument unused during

- Ubuntu 12.04 Linux 3.13.0 i386 Clang 3.0-6
I tried in other setups with Clang 3.5 and no errors. I tried with
x86_64 virtualized systems and no errors. I tried in a native x86_64
(host for all tests. Debian 7 Linux 3.2.65 clang 3.0-6) and did not
fail. I could not test in a native i386.
Maybe it's not important as it just happens with old clangs, or maybe
you want to give it a look.
Thanks
