Quote configure:

if test "$supported_os" = "no"; then
    echo
    echo "WARNING: SUPPORT FOR THIS HOST OS WILL GO AWAY IN FUTURE RELEASES!"
    echo
    echo "Host OS $targetos support is not currently maintained."
    echo "The QEMU project intends to remove support for this host OS in"
    echo "a future release if nobody volunteers to maintain it and to"
    echo "provide a build host for our continuous integration setup."
    echo "configure has succeeded and you can continue to build, but"
    echo "if you care about QEMU on this platform you should contact"
    echo "us upstream at address@hidden"

The key phrase here is "provide a build host for our continuous
integration setup".  Once that's in place, continuing maintenance
shouldn't be hard.
