+Tested tool versions
+--------------------
+
+In order to compile QEMU succesfully, it is very important that you
+have the right tools. The most important one is gcc. I cannot guaranty
+that QEMU works if you do not use a tested gcc version. Look at
+'configure' and 'Makefile' if you want to make a different gcc
+version.
