I got QEMU 1.6 running on RPi, my steps to the solution:
Downloading qemu 1.6
mkdir /home/pi/qemu && cd /home/pi/qemu
wget http://wiki.qemu-project.org/download/qemu-1.6.0-rc1.tar.bz2
Unpack
tar xfj qemu-1.6.0-rc1.tar.bz2
Install dependencies
apt-get install zlib1g-dev libsdl1.2-dev bison flex
Compile
cd qemu-1.6.0-rc1
./configure --target-list="i386-softmmu i386-linux-user" --enable-sdl
--extra-cflags="-O3 -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=vfp -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s
-mtune=arm1176jzf-s -march=armv6zk"
So we need one more lib
Download from here (in PC)
http://git.qemu-project.org/?p=dtc.git;a=snapshot;
h=1760e7ca03894689118646e229ca9487158cd0e8;sf=tgz
And extract it.
Rename folder containing the sources to dtc
and place this folder in QEMU sources folder through WinSCP
Now
cd /home/pi/qemu/qemu-1.6.0-rc1.tar.bz2/dtc
make
Nice. We have dtc binaries
cd /home/pi/qemu/qemu-1.6.0-rc1.tar.bz2
One more lib: gnutls
. My rep cant put links here. Find it in google ;) . Place in qemu1.6 folder, install it.
Compile QEMU
make
(about 1-2 hours)
sudo make install
(about 10sec)
Now we can start our qemu with your image
qemu -cpu 486 -hda /your/image.img -m 150m -smp 1 -redir tcp:2222::22 --nographic
Now we can connect to command prompt through putty (on port 2222).
I hope nothing is forgotten.
