qemu-user crashes immediately when running static binaries on the armhf
architecture. The problem is the memory layout where the executable is
loaded before the interpreter library, in which case the reserved brk
region clashes with the interpreter code and is released before qemu
tries to start the program.
At load time qemu calculates a brk value for interpreter and executable
each. The fix is to choose the higher one of both.
