You will need to tell QEMU -L /usr/s390x-linux-gnu so it
can find the dynamic libraries.

If you're passing QEMU a -L argument you can just create an
empty /lib/s390x-linux-gnu/etc/ld.so.cache   which will then
take precedence over the host's file. That way you don't have
to lose the benefits of ld.so.cache for the host system.
