Description
When attempting to run a known-good PPC Debian VM, qemu-system-ppc just gives a blank white screen and never seems to boot up.
Fink's version of qemu works fine. It looks like they compile one file with llvm-gcc, and the rest with a non-Apple gcc: http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/dists/10.7/stable/main/finkinfo/utils/qemu.info?view=markup

This bug still exists in the qemu 1.1.1 port. I've created a portfile that seems to fix this bug: https://gist.github.com/3660872 . It also allows TCG do be enabled, which should be faster than TCI.
However, it requires gcc47 as a build dependency, which does take a long time to build. Also, I'm not sure if 'make CC=clang ui/cocoa.o' is considered the right way to force that single file to be built with a compiler that supports Apple's blocks extension to Obj-C.
It is not useful to Cc nomaintainer.
