[announce] QEMU x86 emulator version 0.1

Hi Fabrice,

Using gcc to generate code snippets is a *great* idea!
This makes it really easy to port; I've already got it 
running on s390 ...

A couple of minor observations:

- What do you need the linker scripts for?  Is it only to choose
  a non-standard offset?  If so, I guess it would be less error-
  prone to use the currently installed scripts ('ld --verbose')
  and just change the offset using sed or so ...

- The test-i386 case gives differing results (even on i386)
  for several sh[lr]dw cases and for sin(2.0) ...

- syscall.c would refuse to build due to prototype mismatch;
  this patch fixes it:

B.t.w are shared libraries supposed to work already?

Thanks,
