debootstrap --second-stage fails in armhf due to fail setting up cron. BUG?

[Iker Salmón San Millán <ikerssm@gmail.com>]

Hello:

First of all please cc me because i am not subscribed to this list, and excuse me for my english.

I was trying to build a basic rootfs of armhf.

I've found this:
http://www.cyber.com.au/~twb/doc/tf101.html
and i've been diggin in this list looking for information about this but i am not pretty sure about how is going this new architecture. I've already try ubuntu arm in my tf101 and build my own debian arm image and installed in my trasnformer with some succes, but when I try with armhf i get this error in the second stage of debootstrap:

Setting up cron (3.0pl1-120+b1) ...
Can't set $0 with prctl(): Bad address at /usr/sbin/addgroup line 86.

are you guys aware of this?  is it too early to report this? 

By the way, i've been using qemu-arm-static to do this like i've done with arm before, maybe should be in the future qemu-armhf-static or is it already in upstream but not packaged? i don't really now the real diferences of this two architectures.

i also own a sheeva plug with a working debian instalation but i haven't try to do this in the sheeva because it's in another house miles away and the upload rate is not very high and i wasn't planning to wait hours for downloading the builded image.  I also thougth i would need also qemu to debootstrap in the sheeva but now i realize that they are kind of compatible architectures.

Any tip or something to read?

thanks

Iker
