Dear list,

when trying to solve this bug [1] I've realized qemu is not reporting a
list of supported architectures for given binary. I mean, we do have
'query-target' but as I understand it it merely reports only the default
architecture. For instance for qemu-system-i386 I get 'i386', for
-x86_64 I get 'x84_64'. However, other binaries like -ppc or -ppc64 can
run other architectures like ppc, ppcle, ppc64, ppc64le and so on.

So I believe my question is, now that we have a binary capable of
running multiple architectures (and an architecture capable of being run
by several binaries) what is the best way to compute the table?

Michal
