[Qemu-devel] [Bug 788701] [NEW] qem-user fails to run rpcgen (i386, x86_64)

[Rafał Krypa]

Public bug reported:

Confirmed on qemu current development tree (git commit aa29141). While
trying to run eglibc's rpcgen from native system by qemu-user, I get an
error:

qemu-x86_64 /usr/bin/rpcgen -c /dev/null 
fork: Invalid argument

I am running a Debian Wheezy system and rpcgen comes from libc-dev-bin.
Just in case I am attaching my rpcgen binaries from i386 and x86_64
systems.

Very similar problem was mentioned on the QEMU forum on February 2007,
so I guess it might be a known issue. Nevertheless, I was unable to find
any information about bug reports, fixes nor workarounds for it so I'm
reporting it here.
