Yes it should be able to run RVCT binaries. The problem is that the qemu
loader assumes the LMA and file offsets be page aligned (ie. be the same
modulo the page size). This is part of the ABI for linux executables so that
the binary can be mmapped directly into memory. RVCT does not enforce this
alignment by default.

Configure with --static.
