Hmm.. I had similar problems with some versions of qemu(0.8.0 IIRC)
with arm and threads.  You might want to try different versions
(0.7.0, 0.8.0, 0.8.1) of qemu or sbrsh cpu-transparency method.

One relatively easy way to check some of the qemu functionality is to
try to run env-tests against your target (run.sh in
scratchbox/tests/env in source tree; run from outside the scratchbox).
