This is perhaps a good point to ask the question: is retaining
support for 10.6 still worth the effort ? It was released 9
years ago and has been unsupported by Apple for nearly 5 years.

qemu-doc.texi's "Supported build platforms" section says:
# The project supports building with the two most recent versions
# of macOS, with the current homebrew package set available.

which would be High Sierra (10.13) and Mojave (10.14) only. If you
widened that to "all versions still supported by Apple" it would add
Sierra (10.13) to the list.

Given how few upstream developers we have who care about OSX,
I think it is not very useful to spend that effort on trying
to retain support for ancient versions of it.
