Fabiano Fidêncio 7925e678ba qemu: drop cross-compilation build support
Building QEMU for a foreign arch relied on configure-hypervisor.sh
emitting --cross-prefix, build-qemu.sh passing --cc/--cross-prefix for
s390x, and the builder image installing foreign-arch -dev packages
(via dpkg multiarch/DPKG_ARCH) plus a gcc-<arch>-linux-gnu cross toolchain.

None of this is exercised on our side: QEMU is always built on a
native-arch runner. Remove the cross-prefix logic, the s390x cross
configure branch, and the DPKG_ARCH/cross-gcc plumbing from the Dockerfile
and build-base-qemu.sh.

Packaging scripts

This directory contains useful packaging scripts.

configure-hypervisor.sh

This script generates the official set of QEMU-based hypervisor build configuration options. All repositories that need to build a hypervisor from source MUST use this script to ensure the hypervisor is built in a known way since using a different set of options can impact many areas including performance, memory footprint and security.

Example usage:

  $ configure-hypervisor.sh qemu
