Yeah. I run the linux-user-test binaries from http://wiki.qemu.org/Testing as a smoke-test that we haven't totally broken things. I think Riku has a more comprehensive set of tests. There's also the LTP linux-test-project tests, though those are pretty heavyweight. The thing I usually end up getting stuck on with linux-user tests is how you make this (a) runnable by anybody (b) reproducible (c) gpl-compliant where relevant (d) easy for anybody to update the tests. The first and arguably the second of those requires "doesn't need a target toolchain when running 'make check'", but the second two argue for "don't check binary blobs into git"... -- PMM
