Hello!

This patch gives the ability to build TCG builtin even if
--enable-modules is selected. This is useful to have a base
QEMU with TCG native product but still using the benefits of
modules.

Thank you!

Could you please elaborate why this is required? Did you see a performance 
improvement? Or is there another problem?

Hello Thomas,

Please, disconsider this patch. There's a more general discussion about
modules happening here:

https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-07/msg00632.html

A more general solution may be required to actually give us a
fine-grained control on modules.

The case is to allow us to generate customized QEMU packages attending
different user needs.

Thank you very much!!

Jose
