building dif. target system using qemu suit

[Frans de Boer]

LS,

When I use qemu-aarch64to start a chroot jail and within the jail use 
qemu-aarch64-binfmt to cope with the different binary file headers, I 
can't use bash properly.

That is, the -r and -x flags do not give the normal response. I tested 
also with -a, -d, -f, -e and -s, and they worked as expected. This 
behavior stops me from building a new (aarch64) system on a x86_64 build 
system. Within the chroot jail, I can start programs, run (bash) scripts 
as long as these scripts do not use the -r and -x tests. There are maybe 
more tests not working or just working, but these are the ones I tested.

Normally, one would use a build system with the same target 
architecture, but that implies that you already have a target system up 
and running. Qemu with binfmt sounded as a possible solution, but as 
reported above, that seems not the case any longer.

But maybe I do something wrong and thus seek advice how to proceed from 
here.

Regards, Frans.
