Hi all.

Last week I downloaded the last stable version of Scratchbox (1.0.7) and I tried 
to compile for a big-endian arm support.
Surprisingly, I saw that the Qemu big-endian support is still buggy.

Then, my question: did you integrate the patch that we proposed several weeks 
ago ? (see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2006-09/msg00137.html)

In fact, our patched Qemu works fine, whereas Scratchbox Qemu still seems not 
working...
