If I then copy in a statically linked qemu-user ppc binary it will work for some commands in the chroot and fail for others. Steps to reproduce: host$ mkdir powerpc host$ sudo debootstrap --arch=powerpc --foreign wheezy powerpc http://ftp.debian.org/debian host$ sudo cp /usr/bin/qemu-ppc-static powerpc/usr/bin/ host$ LANG=C sudo chroot powerpc /usr/bin/qemu-ppc-static /bin/bash I have no name!@guest:/# pwd / I have no name!@guest:/# cd home/ I have no name!@guest:/home# ls qemu-ppc-static: /tmp/buildd/qemu-1.1.2+dfsg/linux-user/signal.c:4341: setup_frame: Assertion `({ unsigned long __guest = (unsigned long)(ka->_sa_handler) - guest_base; (__guest < (1ul << 32)) && (!reserved_va || (__guest < reserved_va)); })' failed. I have also built this from the git HEAD sources (hash 6b80f7db8a7f84d21e46d01e30c8497733bb23a0) and I get the same result.
