Is your target binary statically linked? If not you'll need
to tell QEMU where the libraries are, or run it in a chroot
with the s390x libraries etc. (You'll also need to make sure
it doesn't pick up the x86 /etc/ld.so.cache, because a glibc
bug means a bigendian dynamic linker crashes when it finds
a littleendian ld.so.cache, whereas same-endian-wrong-arch
just ignores it.)
