But again that's not okay for all testcases. If I want to do SCSI tests, I cannot write them in shell scripts because qemu-jeos does not have sg3_utils. Even libos would not help; relying on sg3_utils means that the client is a completely clear reimplementation. I don't care about the extra trips to the SCSI specs that sg3_utils would save. The problem is that since qtest cannot run on real hardware, I don't have confirmation that I didn't misinterpret the standards. Writing all bits of the testsuite makes it likely to have the same misinterpretations in both the tested code and the tests, even if I try to write the tests from scratch with only the spec in front of me. > I'm skeptical of the value of this from a QEMU point of view.

But even just binutils+GCC+kernel+uclibc is not as easy if you care about dozens of architectures. Paolo
