[oe] qemu-native / gcc 4.x issue (not selecting 3.x)

[Markus Wagner]

Thought this is more an oe issue, than a familiar issue; sorry for the cross 
post though.

Seems to me, that this version of qemu is (still/again/also) having this 
problem - but Christians solution doesn't work for me (anymore). (Was: adding 
EXTRA_OECONF=" --cc=gcc-3.3 " to the .bb file)

Any hints what to do?

My gentoo host normally uses 4.1.x (currently). But is this the gcc version 
used by bitbake to build everything?! Isn't there a special version for cross 
compiling? Do I have to setup a 3.y version parallely on my host?

Thx,
