This is bad in itself. An idea of mine to solve all those issues is, if qemu-user-static would interpret an environment variable containing the elf interpreter prefix that is normally given with -L.
I opened a wishlist bug for qemu here: If this is implemented in qemu, one would do something like this: export QEMU_LD_PREFIX=/tmp/debian-sid-armel/ fakeroot fakechroot chroot /tmp/debian-sid-armel/ dpkg --configure -a and by that one would no longer need /etc/qemu-binfmt/, would also always have the fitting shared libraries for each built, would need no root access to the build host and so on - probably targets all the issues you have correctly listed above. what do you think? cheers, josch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-embedded-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
