Thanks. I suggest upstreaming this patch if possible.

Your version of qemu is most likely outdated, this particular issue
was fixed by this commit [1].

When using qemu-user, I always recommend building qemu from git. Since
you are using a static binary anyway, you won't have any issues with
the host system.
