It's not really too bad; GCC 3 is obsolete and shouldn't really be  
used anymore.

Right. So qemu should be made to work with GCC 4. And the qemu port  
already has tons of patches to make it use GCC 4, though they're only  
used on Intel on Leopard and Tiger. It still uses GCC 3 on PowerPC on  
Leopard and Tiger. Are you on PowerPC or Intel?

I don't have Leopard with me at the moment but I can test on some  
Leopard systems in a few days.

Unfortunately the qemu port has no maintainer. Someone who is  
interested in the qemu software should adopt the port and fix any  
issues.
