[Bug 572882] Re: qemu-debootstrap does not support --variant=fakechroot

[Loïc Minier]

I can see why that fails, but there's really no easy way to fix this.

fakeroot/fakechroot cant be built statically I think as that would
defeat the purpose of overriding the symbols in shared libs, and so they
link to shared libs from the other arch.

I'm happy to consider / review proposed changes to help this use case,
but I dont think this is easy to fix and in fact I would recommend
avoiding the combination of three fragile tools in a single command
(qemu-arm-static + fakeroot + fakechroot ).

The fake*root tools are even more fragile in Ubuntu due to usage of
-Bsymbolic-funcs to build our eglibc.

** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu)
