Hi,
I just compiled qemu-system-ppc for Windows, using native msys2 on
Windows 10 64 bit and the 64 bit mingw cross compiler on Fedora 31. Both
create executables that crash:
qemu-system-ppc.exe -L pc-bios -boot c -m 512 -M mac99,via=pmu -h
da C:\Mac-disks\9.2.img

configure: Do not force pie=no for non-x86
PIE is supported on many other hosts besides x86.
The default for non-x86 is now the same as x86: pie is used
if supported, and may be forced via --enable/--disable-pie.
The original commit (40d6444e91c) said:
"Non-x86 are not changed, as they require TCG changes"
but I think that's wrong -- there's nothing about PIE that
affects TCG one way or another.
Tested on aarch64 (bionic) and ppc64le (centos 7) hosts.

Please note that I tried again after applying patch
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1265368/ However, this has not solved
my issue.
Best,
