-* On x86 you should be able to launch any program by using the

+Tested tool versions
+--------------------
- ./qemu -L / /bin/ls
+In order to compile QEMU succesfully, it is very important that you
+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
+version work.
-* On non x86 CPUs, you need first to download at least an x86 glibc
-(qemu-i386-glibc21.tar.gz on the qemu web page). Ensure that
-LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set:

+
+[1] On Alpha, QEMU needs the gcc 'visibility' attribute only available
+ for gcc version >= 3.3.
+[2] Linux >= 2.4.20 is necessary for precise exception support
+ (untested).

+[4] gcc 2.95.x generates invalid code when using too many register
+variables. You must use gcc 3.x on PowerPC.
