That's not going to work for several reasons:
- You might not be building qemu-user.
- qemu-user only supports a very small subset of systems. e.g. it's no use for 
linux->windows cross builds, which I expect to be the most common case
- The necessary runtime libraries might not be installed. Even if they are, 
qemu probably doesn't know where to find them.
