Hi,

unfortunately you can't use the upstream qemu sources directly to build a 
functional qemu for Scratchbox1. There are a few patches that need to be 
applied and you'll need to link it with libsb too.

If you'd like, take a look at the patches and sources of the latest 
cputransp devkit that's available in scratchbox.org:

http://scratchbox.org/download/files/sbox-releases/apophis/src/scratchbox-devkit-cputransp-qemu-arm-cvs-m-1.0.9/

You'll also need to copy the support for the -sbox-call command line 
parameter from the source tarball (for some reason there's not a patch for 
that). This will take care of the argument passing for you.

Qemu for Scratchbox1 has been statically built in a debian etch chroot 
environment because the host-compiler side of Scratchbox1 is too ancient to 
build it.

There will be a cputransp devkit release with the 0.10 based qemu at some point.

Cheers,
  Juha
