I was looking this post and trying to make in on my Arch Linux x86_64 host, but without success.

I can't chroot inside and I've noticed that Arch doesn't have qemu-arm-static bins, and it looks that they can't be build because Arch doesn't support any static linking.

So did anyone made it working and how?

So,

after some time I spent getting my cross-compiling environment ready with Raspberry PI and Arch Linux, I've realized that QEMU is not good solution, for two main reasons:

  1. Static linking is not supported with Arch Linux
  2. It is slow, so there is no much point in cross-compiling in that way

Solution I decided to use is plain cross-compiling, without any emulators. It takes some time to configure and get used to, but it is definitely worth.
