-* On x86 you should be able to launch any program by using the
-libraries installed on your PC. For example:
-
- ./qemu -L / /bin/ls
-
-* On non x86 CPUs, you need first to download at least an x86 glibc
-(qemu-XXX-i386-glibc21.tar.gz on the qemu web page). Ensure that
-LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set:
-
- unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-
-Then you can launch the precompiled 'ls' x86 executable:
-
- ./qemu /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/ls-i386
-
-You can look at /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/qemu-conf.sh so that QEMU is
-automatically launched by the Linux kernel when you try to launch x86
-executables.

Tested tool versions
--------------------
have the right tools. The most important one is gcc. I cannot guaranty
that QEMU works if you do not use a tested gcc version. Look at
'configure' and 'Makefile' if you want to make a different gcc
