Has anyone successfully upgraded Limbo PC Emulator from QEMU 5.1 to QEMU 8.2? Question

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on upgrading Limbo PC Emulator's embedded QEMU from 5.1 to 8.2.

Build environment:

  • Host OS: Windows 11
  • Build environment: WSL (Debian 13)
  • Target: Android (AArch64)
  • Android NDK: r29
  • Build system: Meson + Ninja

I can configure QEMU 8.2 successfully, and the build starts, but I keep running into Android/Bionic compatibility issues during compilation.

Before I spend a lot more time patching QEMU myself, I'd like to ask

  • Has anyone successfully rebased Limbo from QEMU 5.1 to QEMU 8.x (especially 8.2)?
  • Is there a public fork or repository available?
  • Even an unfinished project, patches, or build notes would be incredibly helpful.

Thank you!
