It definitely wont be fixed for wheezy.  We have lots of other
more important limitations there which wont be fixed either,
unfortunately - for example, almost any multi-threaded program
does not work, including those who run current version of clone(2)
to spawn another process -- which basically means you can't run
another program from a process running by qemu-user.

Fakeroot is an unusual thing that interferes with the dynamic
linker in a somewhat non-trivial way.  It should be possible to
make it to work if you use the preloaded shared object from
the emulated architecture, but faked from the host architecture
(I think anyway).  But it is definitely a less important target
to support.

No problem with that.

Thank you!
