This seems to be > related to system call translation. The amd64 build seems to be fine. I'm afraid i386 host in qemu receives almost no testing for a long time, especially for 64bit targets. Some places in the code use types such as int or long to represent 64 bits, incl. syscall translation, or, if that's done correctly, fail to translate high bits in host integers. Anyway, can you be a bit more specific about the failures? Maybe some simple test cases, something reproducible, because I'm not sure I'll find the right bugs when trying to reproduce this :) Is 386 host important these days, when almost all x86 machines are 64bits-capable and have large address space not easily accessible in 32bit mode? Thanks, /mjt
