[Peter Maydell]

The prctl patches I mention in comment #4 went into upstream last year,
so we can close this bug now.

Title:
  qemu-user -static variants require shared libraries

Status in QEMU:
  Fix Released
Status in “qemu” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  somehwere in the qemu 1.0 series, the qemu-user static  variants
  started issuing build warnings like so:

    
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.6/../../../i386-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.a(gutils.o):

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=qemu&arch=amd64&ver=1.0~rc4%2Bdfsg-1&stamp=1322591568

  i've also tested with qemu/master from today (commit
  217bfb445b54db618a30f3a39170bebd9fd9dbf2), and it has the same issue.

  This seems to cause adduser, addgroup, etc. to fail in cross-
  architecture chroots that use statically built qemu-user binaries to
  emulate the foreign architecture.

  Older versions (0.12-0.15, at least) didn't seem to have this issue.

  live well,
