I built a kernel with these options enabled, but chrooting into an
armv5tel subtree segfaults immediately. :-(

# grep -E "CONFIG_COMPAT=|CONFIG_ARM64_4K_PAGES=" /boot/config-4.4.5
CONFIG_ARM64_4K_PAGES=y
CONFIG_COMPAT=y

# chroot /orcone/docker/rsel6/
Segmentation fault

The chroot is armv5tel soft-float, which I think should work.
Oddly, I see no mention of a segfault in dmesg or in /var/log/messages
on the host...

What am I doing differently?
