I use the usermode emulation fairly extensively for cross development/testing. User emulation has three main advantages for our purposes: - It's significantly faster than full system emulation, especially when the target system would be using an NFSroot. - It doesn't rely on a target kernel. These frequently have bugs, especially on the less popular architectures.. - It's much easier to integrate into test harnesses. With binfmt_misc it's mostly transparent. For full system emulation you have to mess about with telnet/rsh. The main downside is that threaded applications don't currently work properly, but that's fixable.
