non-native ARM support via qemu

doc/arm.txt

+Для сборки с применением трансляции посредством QEMU
+выполните от имени root следующие команды:
+
+apt-get install qemu-user-binfmt_misc
+modprobe binfmt_misc
+echo ":arm:M::\x7fELF\x01\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x28\x00:\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff\xff:/.host/qemu-arm:" > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
+echo 32768 > /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr
+
+Если файл /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register не существует,
+потребуется установить и загрузить иное ядро (например, std-def).
+
+Также нужен sources.list с указанием arm-репозитория
+и ссылающийся на него apt.conf (см. apt.conf.sample);
+например:
+
+--- sources.list.sisyphus.arm
+rpm http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/Sisyphus arm classic
