A reliable port cross-build failure (hangup) in my context (amd64->armv7 cross build, with native-tool speedup involved) [details of a specific qemu-arm-static source code problem]

With the __packed-modified qemu-user-static, the amd64->armv7
crossbuilds does not hang anymore, but I get build failures instead.
Interestingly enough, an unmodified qemu-user-static gets further
along in a amd64->armv6 crossbuild, with only one reproducible hang.

Cheers.
