+ mode
 
 When running in thumb mode, Linux doesn't evaluate the immediate value
 of the svc instruction, but instead just always assumes the syscall number

+Subject: [PATCH] linux-user/binfmt: Force using emulation when LIBRARY_PATH
+ is set
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+GCC ignores LIBRARY_PATH when cross-compiling so we must use emulation
+to have it picked up correctly.
