binfmt_misc fails to work on sh4

["Raúl Porcel" <armin76@gentoo.org>]

Hello everyone,

I've tried qemu suing binfmt_misc for sh4, but doesn't work fine. It
spits some really weird errors.

Here are the steps to reproduce:

> ~ # wget http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gentoo/releases/sh/autobuilds/20090404/stage3-sh4-20090404.tar.bz2
> ~ # mkdir chroot
> ~ # tar xjfp stage3-sh4-20090404.tar.bz2 -C chroot/
> ~ # wget http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-current/mpfr-2.4.2.tar.gz; mv mpfr-2.4.2.tar.gz chroot/root/

Happens the same with the Debian userspace that you can download from here:

Any hints?
