Description

qemu fails on compilation in macOS 10.15 (Catalina) with newest command line tools

error is: 

:info:build In file included from qapi/qapi-visit-authz.c:13:

which suggest to me lack of an include pthreads.h directive

Summary: qemu @9.1.0 Error on compilation (pthread_jit_write_protect_np) → qemu @9.1.0: error: implicit declaration of function 'pthread_jit_write_protect_np' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

pthread_jit_write_protect_np is only available in macOS 11 and later. I could not find a web page stating that, but in the file /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.1.sdk/usr/include/pthread/pthread.h on my system the function is declared as: 

__API_AVAILABLE(macos(11.0))
__API_UNAVAILABLE(ios, tvos, watchos, driverkit)
void pthread_jit_write_protect_np(int enabled);

The qemu developers deliberately removed the compatibility code that used to allow it to compile on macOS 10.x:

​https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/7b60b971cc2f52ed2a69006a2ad709df2831cd67

The maintainer of the qemu port has previous expressed disinterest in supporting older versions of macOS than the developers of qemu do.
