1870 1870 In order to compile QEMU successfully, it is very important that you
1871   -have the right tools. The most important one is gcc. I cannot guaranty
1872   -that QEMU works if you do not use a tested gcc version. Look at
1873   -'configure' and 'Makefile' if you want to make a different gcc
1874   -version work.

1893   - for gcc version >= 3.3.

  1871 +have the right tools. The most important one is gcc. On most hosts and
  1872 +in particular on x86 ones, @emph{gcc 4.x is not supported}. If your
  1873 +Linux distribution includes a gcc 4.x compiler, you can usually
  1874 +install an older version (it is invoked by @code{gcc32} or
  1875 +@code{gcc34}). The QEMU configure script automatically probes for
  1876 +these older versions so that usally you don't have to do anything.
