Yes, but that's not how we ship them today. (We're actually considering having the ROM blob sources be in an entirely separate tarball from the QEMU sources, for unrelated reasons).
We should fix this bug by: (1) getting u-boot to fix it upstream (2) moving to a fixed u-boot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1714750 Title: 2.10.0 cannot be installed on case-insensitive file system Status in QEMU: New Bug description: The https://download.qemu.org/qemu-2.10.0.tar.bz2 tarball cannot be unpacked on a case-insensitive file system because it has a file qemu-2.10.0/roms/u-boot/scripts/Kconfig and a directory qemu-2.10.0/roms/u-boot/scripts/kconfig. This prevents installation on most macOS systems since by default the file system is case insensitive. The 2.10.0 upgrade is blocked in Homebrew due to this issue. See https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/17467. This is a regression from 2.9.0, which didn't have this problem.
