Fixes #97
Tested that this works by installing
qemu-user-static
and whatever binfmt-integration package your distro uses:Although that's pretty neat, emulation is way slower than I expected:
I originally also wanted to integrate PkgEval.jl with Qemu_jll.jl and automatically use qemu's user-mode emulation, but turns out it doesn't actually handle
execve
, so we need to usebinfmt
for transparent emulation. But since it's way too slow for actual PkgEval purposes, I won't explore that any further anyway.Finally, as you see in the output above
cpu_time
reporting doesn't work properly in the case of qemu emulation, but I assume it does with native aarch64 execution, so that shouldn't hold this PR back.
