[Bug 1869073] Re: qemu-arm-static crashes "segmentation fault" when running "git clone -s"

[Peter Maydell]

"git crashes" was a known issue with some older versions of QEMU (we had
race conditions and git happens to go multi-threaded for some operations
including I think 'clone'), but they should all now be fixed. If it does
happen again I would recommend trying the most recent QEMU release.

Title:
  qemu-arm-static crashes "segmentation fault" when running "git clone
  -s"

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I want to use qemu-arm-static to cross-compile software. The compiler
  itself is a native cross-compiler connected via "distcc".

  The problem is that a script tries to do some stuff with "git" and
  with a "git clone -s" command the whole story reproducibly stops with
  a "segmentation fault".

  I don't know how to properly debug the issue but it happens 100% of
  the time that I get the "crash" or git just hangs forever with 100%
  CPU usage.
