Comment 2 for bug 1701798

I think I hit this problem trying to use qemu-s390x-static in the s390x/ubuntu:16.04 docker image. Running qemu-s390x-static 2.9.0 on binaries in that image (e.g. /bin/echo) results in a hang.

I've noticed that doing the same in a s390x/debian:jessie image does NOT have the same problem. No hang. Looks like the binaries are built for different kernel versions, could that be why?
