You could run a static ARM binary under qemu-arm-static --
that would not require a chroot. But I don't think we really want
to get into the business of doing a pile of tests at runtime.
My vote would be for:
 * packaged versions of l-m-c should just use dependencies
to enforce a working version
 * unpackaged versions are assumed to be used by people
who know what they're doing
 * l-m-c shouldn't try to install anything at runtime
