I would like to reiterate what Martin is saying. GCC 4.0.0 is known to
cause a few interesting bugs and as such QEMU refuses to compile under
it (GCC 4.x entirely I believe). I would suggest that if you can't go
forwards, go back to GCC 3.3 - but I know personally I'm on 4.1.2 so
4.0.0 is rather far behind.

Try upgrading to Fedora Core 5 and recompiling to see if you have the
same difficulties.
