Don't worry about SH-5, this architecture never existed in hardware,
so it's not surprising it was eventually removed from gcc.

Make sure you overwrite the binary in both /usr/bin and the chroot's
usr/bin and restart binfmt-support if necessary. Also, the binary
has to be called "qemu-sh4-static" in Debian while qemu upstream
calls it "qemu-sh4".
