When setreuid() or setegid() are called from x86_64 target code in user mode, qemu crashes inside the NPTL signal handlers. x86 targets do not directly use a syscall to handle setreuid() / setegid(); instead the x86 NPTL implementation sets up a temporary data region in memory (__xidcmd) and issues a signal (SIGRT1) to all threads, allowing the handler for that signal to issue the syscall. Under qemu, __xidcmd remains null (see variable display below backtrace).
Backtrace:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
