<aggi>sigh, qemu-0.14 does not yet work with linux-tcc

<aggi>i think it is not related to posix-timer.c subsystem - which btw. i gave up backporting for the moment

<aggi>either $ qemu -curses or $ qemu -sdl do launch

<aggi>sdl output works on framebuffer too for that matter

<aggi>but then screen remains blank and/or sdl -curses shows "VGA Blank Mode"...

<aggi>sorry, had to tell because it's been a little time invested already

<aggi>i'll try re-compiling an older qemu-0.9.1 next

<aggi>compilation of qemu-0.9 is worse, with qemu-0.14 i got running ELF binaries already

<aggi>i'll postpone qemu; qemu-system-i386 get's stuck already with loading bios.bin for an unknown reason (no terminal i/o on curses/sdl/serial, at least qemu monitor works), and qemu-user segfaults

<aggi>it's not related to posix-timer subsystem either i think

<aggi>qemu probably never was ported for a linux-2.4 host-os - if it was it must have been a rather old version <0.9.1 even

<sh4>could try to strace and grep for ENOSYS

<aggi>i did strace, it's stuck in a loop... moment..

<aggi>nope

<aggi>after all, that's the route taken nowadays tcc -> gcc -> >=linux-2.6 -> qemu - and this works, even when it pulls in a 100million lines of code

<aggi>and qemu itself isn't crucial for bootstrapping either - even when it's a very-nice to have

<aggi>if qemu-0.14.1 was working, even then it would be missing aarch64 and/or riscv64, and i doubt anyone would backport this - i won't
