25 support for those backports, unless the feature is auto-detectable in a

62 ``--enable-tcg-interpreter`` option to enable the TCI support, but note that
64 requires host-specific support for signal handling, therefore TCI won't help

96   Distributions with long-term support often provide multiple versions
100   In this case, it will be necessary to use the ``--python`` command line
109   If QEMU bumps its minimum Python version and a non-default runtime is
119   a newer version using ``cargo install bindgen-cli``.
123   For all other architectures, Debian bookworm provides a new-enough Rust
124   compiler in the ``rustc-web`` package.
126   Also, on Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 this requires the ``rustc-1.77``
136   of optional build-time dependency; in this case it is possible to
137   download them from repositories such as EPEL, to use container-based
138   cross compilation using ``docker`` or ``podman``, or to use pre-built
