I'm presuming that the target that you're removing is being created by
this line, maybe we should just specifically skip it here instead?

The comment below on the removal probably would still apply though.

>      cp qemu-fuzz-i386 "$DEST_DIR/qemu-fuzz-i386-target-$target"

Also, did you look into using hard-links, or even sym-links - they would
require less duplication of the binaries, which may be important, or may
not, and quicker creation too, e.g.

      ln qemu-fuzz-i386 "$DEST_DIR/qemu-fuzz-i386-target-$target"

It's something that has been done for years, for example if you do:

      ls -il /sbin/{e2fsck,fsck.ext*}

you will see they share the same inode. Similarly for vi and ex, they
use symlinks (hardlinks on some OSes, but seems not Linux):

      ls -il /bin/{vi,ex}

The main point is that argv[0] will be the name of link itself, not the
thing pointed to.

Thanks,

Darren.
