Congrats!

I don't run *BSD (I downloaded FreeBSD but it didn't install on my AMD32 
PC due to IDE controller probing hangs).

BTW: I started with running the prebuilt QEMU 0.6.0 Linux_i386 binary on 
my Solaris10_x86 host too.
I used the user space Linux_x86<<--->>Solaris_x86 ELF system call 
translator 'lxrun0.9.5' for that purpose.
It has no support for LKM (loadable kernel modules) nor does it support 
too kernel specific system calls.
LXrun runs most linux binaries - but unfortunately neither wine nor 
VMware or old Plex86.
*But it does run QEMU - thanx to Fabrice's brilliant design.*

Luckily did I get QEMU 0.6.0 compiled for Solaris10_x86 (with the help 
of Eric's patch - slightly upgraded and applied by hand [version mismatch]).

Yes - either supply the diffs or offer your source tree including the 
built files as package.
I assume the NetBSD would be very happy about that.

'/usr/local/bin/qemu' runs perfectly, stable and as fast as under Fedora 
core 2.
The other targets (qemu-fast, qemu-ppc and so on) did compile even under 
Solaris10_x86. But they crash with a segfault when run.
Slirp didn't compile and needed to be disabled.
