This is what passing --enable-debug to configure does.

This won't work because you're running gdb as your own
user and attempting to debug a program running as root.
'sudo gdb qemu-system-x86_64 ...' will probably work.

(Also, you almost certainly want to run gdb on the binary
that you just built rather than on the binary in
/usr/local/kvm/bin which is presumably whatever older
version was last installed.)
