Sorry, that there were no reactions to this ticket when you've opened it. Since both, GCC 4.4 and QEMU 0.14 are quite outdated nowadays, and AFAIK nobody complains about this issue with newer versions anymore, I think we can close this bug nowadays. If you still have this problem with the latest version of QEMU, please feel free to open this ticket again.
