Hi,
I just tried to compile QEMU on a freshly installed system. "configure"
finished without problems, but during "make" I hit this error:

Sure, it's easy to fix, but maybe "configure" should already check for the

availablity of "bzip2", so that we then either skip the installation of the
edk2 images if "bzip2" is not available, or bail out during "configure"
already?
The general rule is that if we run a binary we should check for it upfront
so users immediately see any missing pre-requisites, rather than wasting
30 minutes waiting for QEMU to build & then fail.
Yes, I'll send a fix.
