i've compiled many versions from 0.15 and up. usually, my configure 
looks like './configure --prefix=/opt/qemu-<version> 
--target-list=x86_64-softmmu' and its been working for me. i haven't 
seen any of the problems you are describing. sry i don't have more info 
to give.

I also have been successful with just doing the ./configure with no 
other options. This is on a CentOS6.2 x86_64 and I have built binaries 
for both 0.12.5 and 0.15.1.
