(Get the code!)
I seem to have found another workaround. Knowing now what causes this my guess was: If I make the qemu-arm-static on the host a 32 bit binary and get "multilib" running to make my 64 bit Linux installation run this, then in theory this incompatibility should not happen. If it would, then 32 bit x86 applications whould run into the same problem.
And at least according to my tries, I did so far, this seems to be the case. I was able to reproduce this with svn (no checkout possible from 32 bit armv7h). If the qemu-arm-static binary is a 32 bit x86 application, then SVN checkouts work well now.
So until there is a better solution it seems to be a good idea to make the emulation layer run through multilib for 32 bit target architectures, so the host kernel can switch to its 32 bit backwards compatibility mode.
