So this is the de-facto official development version?  Quite a few
changes in that tree, also to core stuff. Hmm. But nothing that fixes my
spurious CPL degeneration. What a pity.

However, you could merge another (minor) patch:

Index: Makefile
===================================================================
--- Makefile    (Revision 17)
+++ Makefile    (Arbeitskopie)
@@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ endif # !CONFIG_WIN32
 
 clean:
        $(MAKE) -C common clean
-       rm -f kqemu.ko *.o *~
+       rm -rf kqemu.ko *.o *~ .kqemu* Module.* modules.order kqemu.mod.c 
.tmp_versions
 
 endif # !CONFIG_SOLARIS
 

Actually, more needs to be cleaned up /wrt Linux module building. But
I'm reluctant to touch common/Makefile until the (current) reason for
this code organization is known.
