[Scratchbox-users] Re: Select CPU-transparency method: big list

[Jussi Hakala]

Your toolchain's architecture is arm, so you'll have to choose arm 
instead of armeb. As a rule of thumb, it's wise to choose the latest 
qemu version.

The "sb2" stands for the patchset applied to that version of qemu. The 
"m2" is slightly different patchset, but it is very unlikely in your 
case to find it more useful than the sb2 one.

There's always qemu-arch (in your case, qemu-arm) which defaults to the 
recommended qemu of the given architecture.
