Debian package (1:2.11+dfsg-1) ships hppa support but it doesn't even install binfmt; otherwise, -user is functional enough for a minimal executable (so arch-test reports it as working[1]), but not for anything libc: [/srv/chroots/hppa]# chroot . /usr/bin/qemu-hppa-static /bin/true qemu-hppa-static: /build/qemu-v8TF72/qemu-2.11+dfsg/target/hppa/translate.c:422: nullify_end: Assertion `status != DISAS_NORETURN && status != DISAS_IAQ_N_UPDATED' failed. Segmentation fault This looks bad enough that I didn't even look at qemu-system. ᛗᛖᛟᚹ! [1]. On archs without changed baseline, the test is just write(1,"ok\n",3);_exit(0); unless there's a known issue to look for such as swpb emulation being nop, etc. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢰⠒⠀⣿⡁ Vat kind uf sufficiently advanced technology iz dis!? ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ -- Genghis Ht'rok'din ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀
