Thank you for looking into this, and here you go:

    $ qemu-x86_64 -version
    qemu-x86_64 version 4.2.1 (Debian 1:4.2-3ubuntu6.24)
    Copyright (c) 2003-2019 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers

The version that I built by hand (which passed all tests) is as follows:

    $ /home/git/qemu/build/qemu-x86_64 -version
    qemu-x86_64 version 7.2.0 (v7.2.0)
