Yes, this implicit binding will be removed from the -q option, but it will be enabled by the -Q option (same behavior as with your patch). >> Also I wonder why the forced "/host-rootfs" is an issue in your case? > > I was trying to use proot to create a foreign architecture rootfs while I used > fakeroot/fakechroot before.

In this case PRoot is not as transparent as it should be, so this is clearly an issue to be fixed in PRoot. Thanks for the bug report and for the patch.
