The binary is .../qemu/download/qemu-0.8.0-i386.tar.gz and is 2.5MB

The source can be compiled with gcc 2.96 and glibc 2.2.5, or gcc 2.3 and 
glibc 2.1.3 and 2.4.18 kernel or a later one- anyone want to try this so 
as to avoid SW9.0?  glibc 2.2.5 is already needed for Opera and xpdf 
binaries.

You need to edit Makefile to specify your kernel.

gcc 2.95 I think is said not to work right.


Kernel 2.4 is needed for the precompiled accelerator.
