How to build minimal ARM QEMU Static from sources with EXECVE

build.sh

#!/bin/bash

# IMPORTANT!
# At the moment this script is forged only for Debian ( tested on 8.x release ).
# Although my efforts were put on building this also on Arch Linux or Alpine, at the moment only Debian seems to be able to build it.
# Also, not sure why these instructions where nowhere on the internet, therefore I leave them here for whoever need them.

# Add Backports repo support
echo -e "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main\ndeb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

# Install all required development packages
apt-get update && apt-get build-dep qemu

# Clone a fork of QEMU that supports permanent EXECVE ( see https://resin.io/blog/building-arm-containers-on-any-x86-machine-even-dockerhub/ )
git clone https://github.com/julianxhokaxhiu/qemu.git
cd qemu
git checkout execve-2.9

# Build the binaries in a static old fashion way
mkdir build
