That is rather strange.  It does work ok for me on mips, and I wasn't
able to make it go wrong on x86-64 either in a quick test.

The other odd thing is that, from a quick look at the qemu source code,
it does seem as though sys_futex (which is syscall 240 on i386 and
syscall 202 on x86-64) ought to be supported if qemu was built with NPTL
on.  However, in my x86-64 test I did see the "unsupported syscall 202"
syscall although the binary still seemed to run fine.

And, well, the third weird thing is that your log message above implies
that pango-querymodules is trying to do inb(0) which clearly is not
going to work if you're not root.  I've no idea why it would be wanting
to do that.
