is investigating

Is this a problem with the emulated shared libraries not loading (qemu itself should be static)? Wookey did find a problem when built on older distros as the kernel version (CONFIG_UNAME) passed to the emulated system cause libc to get confused as older kernels don't support aarch64!

Debian is carrying a patch that forces the kernel version to be reported to libc as 3.8.
