Bug Description

./scripts/qemu-binfmt-conf.sh

needs

echo ':armCompiler:M::\x7fELF\x01\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x08\x00\x02\x00\x28\x00:\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff\xff:/usr/bin/qemu-static-arm-binfmt:P' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register

Some executables (specifically compilers like /usr/libexec/gcc/armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabi/4.5.3/cc1 on gentoo) have unusual headers, and don't get recognized as arm binaries.
