qemu 2.12.0 qemu-system-ppc illegal instruction on ppc64le, crashes emulator

% uname -a
Linux tim.floodgap.com 4.16.14-300.fc28.ppc64le #1 SMP Tue Jun 5 15:59:48 UTC 2018 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux

STR:
Start QEMU and boot Mac OS X 10.4.11.
Download the current version of TenFourFox (I used G3 so that AltiVec was not a confounder).
Try to start TenFourFox in safe mode (hold down Option as you double-click while the icon bounces in the Dock).

Expected:
TenFourFox starts.

Actual:
The entire emulator exits with an illegal instruction error.

Trace of session (including some disassembly so you can see where TCG went wrong):

It appears that the branch at 0x00007fffd4edebfc caused a jump back (a return?) through CTR, but CTR has -1 in it, hence setting PC to 0xfffffffffffffffc. I am not sure how to debug this further.

Sorry, more complete disassembly of the apparent actual fault:

Hi, Cameron.

The step "Start QEMU and boot Mac OS X 10.4.11" is not clear to me.  Is there a location where one could download such image and boot?

I wonder how one without access to a Mac image can reproduce this issue.

Cheers
Murilo

The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to another system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to "Incomplete" now.
If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch the state back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report will be marked as "Expired". Or mark it as "Fix Released" if the problem has been solved with a newer version of QEMU already. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

[Expired for QEMU because there has been no activity for 60 days.]
