Title:
  qemu-aarch64-static segfaults running ldconfig.real (amd64 host)

Status in QEMU:
  New
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This affects the qemu-user-static 1:8.2.2+ds-0ubuntu1 package on
  Ubuntu 24.04, running on a amd64 host.

  When running docker containers with Ubuntu 22.04 in them, emulating
  arm64 with qemu-aarch64-static, invocations of ldconfig (actually
  ldconfig.real) segfault. For example:

  $ docker run -ti --platform linux/arm64/v8 ubuntu:22.04 
  root@8861ff640a1c:/# /sbin/ldconfig.real
  Segmentation fault

  If you copy the ldconfig.real binary to the host, and run it directly
  via qemu-aarch64-static:

  $ gdb --args qemu-aarch64-static ./ldconfig.real

  It looks like this is a known qemu regression after v8.1.1:
  https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1913

  Downgrading the package to qemu-user-
  static_8.0.4+dfsg-1ubuntu3_amd64.deb fixes the segfault.
