Comment 1 for bug 1908331

To be sure I built upstream v4.2.1 and it reports the expected and required linkage. Build needs some additional tweaking to avoid libssh deprecated functions causing -Werror to trigger:

$ sudo apt install liblzma-dev

$ ../../qemu/configure --target-list=aarch64-linux-user --static --disable-system --enable-linux-user --extra-cflags='-Wno-deprecated-declarations'

$ make -j8 V=1

$ file ./aarch64-linux-user/qemu-aarch64
./aarch64-linux-user/qemu-aarch64: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, BuildID[sha1]=70f5e10ac0eb9b63d7758850e2f18d0a047d4b79, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, with debug_info, not stripped
