Specifically: * hard-coded for /usr/local installs * no help * no error checking Tellingly the script doesn't seem to be used by the distros who have rolled their own binfmt_misc stuff around qemu. I also found it hard to figure out why things were not working so I wrote a noddy checker script for interrogating the state of binfmt. I'm currently using the -d mode of this script and am running qemu directly from my source tree (with $HOME bind mounted into my chroot) and it seems to be working well. Any comments? Worth pushing some love to the scripts upstream? Cheers, -- Alex Bennée QEMU/KVM Hacker for Linaro
