Adding Wookey.

I tried  
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/CrossCompile/arm64bootstrap
and nothing works past the line where it recommends saving the
tarball.

Wookey, we have folks who would like to cross compile qemu for
aarch64, any ideas?

I have a working raring chroot tarball that I created back in March.
I followed the instructions until failure then grabbed debs by hand
and installed them.  Yes ugly I know.
