With my latest commits it is working: QEMU can launch dynamically linked 
'ls' and 'bash' processes. I will provide soon a binary archive so that 
people can at least try it if they have problems.

Warning: no FPU emulation is done. I just added the necessary code to 
skip the few FPU instructions present in the libc. If anyone has ideas 
about FPU on ARM, I am interested. Unfortunately the Linux distributions 
seem to use the kernel based NetWinder FPU emulator.

I tested the ARM support with an ARM glibc-2.2.5 from a debian 3.0 
installed on a StrongARM board.
