Also yesterday on IRC:

<RaV3N> [...] I downloaded the qemu source from git and tried to compile
it. I am getting this:

./configure --static && make && sudo make install
 CC      ui/input-keymap.o
ui/input-keymap.c:8:10: fatal error: ui/input-keymap-linux-to-qcode.c:
No such file or directory

update"
