Does this fix it?


(A better change is of course to also rename qemu_vmalloc).

That's not the kind of extra code that Stefan is talking about.  It's
extra data structures (envlist.c) that are placed in a static library
but do not appear in any final build product.

Instead, "building KVM code on Win32" is in fact something we have been
doing for years, see kvm-stub.c.

No, it conflicts with the function prototype.

This works.

I think a similar case would be to compile the non-stub versions on
Win32 also but not link them in. For example, in theory envlist.c
could use POSIX only features.
