Hi,
First of all, many thanks for your kind support. I have been able to setup a crossbuild chroot environment for aarch64. I can now configure and compile qemu using this environment.
Excellent.
(Stop at 'Use with sbuild' because you are not doing that, but building upstream source directly in the chroot).
If I stop here and exit the sbuild-shell environment right-away, the following package installations remain temporary. And I have to re-install them after each execution of "schroot -c raring-amd64-sbuild" command.
Yes. If you want to make permanent changes to a (tarball or snapshot) chroot then start it with: sudo schroot -c source:<chrootname> (sbuild-shell is equivalent to this)
If you want changes made in the chroot to be temporary then start it with schroot -c <chrootname>
For your purposes it makes sense to put all the crosstools and (cross)build-deps into the base chroot.
