Since at least 1.1 version of qemu, I can't run any mips binary using statically linked qemu-mips on x86_64 host. It immediately fails with SIGSEGV:
# chroot mipsroot /bin/bash qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped mipsroot/bin/bash: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, MIPS, MIPS-II version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.26, BuildID[sha1]=0xeb1a3595d733e28f4f081beabb1f135bc5bf7527, with unknown capability 0x41000000 = 0xf676e75, with unknown capability 0x10000 = 0x70401, stripped (this is current Debian install of mips architecture). At the same time, 32bit qemu-mips works just fine: # cp -p /usr/bin/qemu-mips-static-32 mipsroot/usr/bin/ # chroot mipsroot /bin/bash I have no name!@gandalf:/# ls bin dev home lib64 proc run selinux tmp var boot etc lib mnt root sbin sys usr I have no name!@gandalf:/# uname -a Linux gandalf 3.2.0-amd64 #3.2.30 SMP Thu Sep 20 18:50:45 MSK 2012 mips GNU/Linux Current qemu git behaves the same - it also segfaults when trying to run a 32bit mips binary from x86_64 host qemu-mips binary. There are numerous bugreports about this issue on Debian as well. Is it just Debian, or is something really broken there? I'd think that running 32bit mips code on x86_64 host is quite common, no? (Cc'ing Aurelien for this one) Thanks, /mjt
