People are trying to add it, which is why this thread started.
It's a bit hard to test patches if you can't even configure
qemu because its dependencies aren't present in the cross
environment.

It is all still work-in-progress. There's also
a set of patches from Huawei which add aarch64
host (ie tcg target) support.

Most of these are optional if you're just building
QEMU from a git source tree, as you note.

The really critical stuff is zlib and glib.

Note that nobody here is asking about "how do I compile
the qemu debian package" -- just building from a source
tree is all that's needed.

Thanks, that will help I think.
