Comment 11 for bug 1847361

re: version matching, when I looked at this last week it seemed that qemu sets up a build stamp, which is then used to create its DSO stamp fun (cause this is so fun ;)

I wonder if the dso abi could be firmed up and made consistent, at least for major versions, so that the loader could be a bit more flexible about loading drivers from other builds.

configure: echo "CONFIG_STAMP=_$( (echo $qemu_version; echo $pkgversion; cat $0) | $shacmd - | cut -f1 -d\ )" >> $config_host_mak
