[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1810405] Re: source tarball has errors when untarring

I look in my crystal ball and deduce that you're doing this on a
filesystem which isn't case-sensitive. This is bug #1714750, and it's
really an issue with the u-boot code that we ship a copy of. You can
work around it by extracting the sources with "tar xf qemu-2.10.0.tar.xz
--exclude qemu-2.10.0/roms/u-boot/scripts/Kconfig" (the file that is
excluded isn't needed to build QEMU).

It looks like we never finished the fix for 1714750 -- it's fixed in
upstream u-boot but we need to move forward to using that u-boot rather
than the one we currently ship.
