RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
The qemu package currently builds all the qemu variants. On RHEL we will give support only to the x86_64-softmmu.

The code to disable the non-x86 qemu targets is already present in the spec file, we just need to change the RHEL-specific settings:


diff --git a/qemu.spec b/qemu.spec
index 2c9b642..3a1b2a9 100644

 # RHEL-specific defaults:
-%bcond_with    x86only          # disabled
+%bcond_without x86only          # enabled
 %bcond_without exclusive_x86_64 # enabled
 %bcond_with    rbd              # disabled
 %bcond_with    fdt              # disabled

Fixed in qemu-1.2-0.2.20120806git3e430569.el7.

The patch is not in qemu-kvm.spec any more, just check what rpmbuild produce:
