Problem is that host and guest are in most cases running a different version or even a different distribution of linux. Above is fine for distributing one binary of a specific library for, say, 32 and 64 bit versions. In the mean time I got the user emulation mode working in a chrooted environment. The performance improvement for graphics is spectacular. Using lazarus on sparc in user emulation is really comfortable compared to full system emulation. Startup is twice as fast but the real difference is in doing X intensive stuff like the pop-ups mentioned before, editing forms, etc. If you don't mind I'll update the Qemu wiki page to add the instructions on how to create and run the chrooted environment. It is a small effort for the initial set up but the payback in productivity is enormuous.
