I got your point. But OTOH I just make the default configurable.

IMHO this leads to:
* add an (optional) config-file for the usermode to overwrite defaults
 or
* extend and generalize the wrapper and use it in binfmt instead of qemu directly

Let me sleep over it a bit - for now: other opinions ?

Best,
