Hi,

While working on my aarch64 work I found setting up binfmt was more of
a pain than it could have been. 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,
