-@subsection Tested tool versions
+@subsection GCC version
In order to compile QEMU successfully, it is very important that you
-have the right tools. The most important one is gcc. I cannot guaranty
-that QEMU works if you do not use a tested gcc version. Look at
-'configure' and 'Makefile' if you want to make a different gcc
-version work.

-[1] On Alpha, QEMU needs the gcc 'visibility' attribute only available
- for gcc version >= 3.3.
-[2] Linux >= 2.4.20 is necessary for precise exception support
- (untested).

-
-[4] gcc 2.95.x generates invalid code when using too many register
-variables. You must use gcc 3.x on PowerPC.

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