Package: qemu-user-static
Version: 1:2.5+dfsg-5
Severity: normal
In addition to bug #813698, I found that most Debian ppc64el binaries
go horribly wrong when running on the i386 build of
qemu-ppc64le-static even with QEMU_CPU=POWER8. This seems to be
related to system call translation. The amd64 build seems to be fine.

This issue has been definitely fixed in 10.0 version by
removing all 64bit targets on 32bit hosts, so there's
no ppc64 emulation on i386 anymore.
And even before that, it looks like the reported combination
actually worked.
Thanks,
