Hi Cristian,

The problem is that it is broken, we need try to avoid shipping
broken recipes to confuse the end user, you can fix it to make it
work, but qemu 1.3 and 2.4 have different configure options,
you will get warnings about unknown configure options, so you need
move a few PACKAGECONFIGs from qemu.inc to qemu_2.4.bb to fix
the warnings, that seems not worth, so I removed it, if you do
like qemu_git.bb recipes, I think that you can upgrade it to
2.4.0-rc2 and replace qemu_2.4.0-rc2.bb.
