[Bug 1817239] Re: add '--targets' option to qemu-binfmt-conf.sh

[Thomas Huth]

The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to another 
system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be 
closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to "Incomplete" now.
If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch the state 
back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report will be marked as 
"Expired". Or mark it as "Fix Released" if the problem has been solved with a 
newer version of QEMU already. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Title:
  add '--targets' option to qemu-binfmt-conf.sh

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'd like to ask for the addition of option '--targets' to scripts
  /qemu-binfmt-conf.sh, in order to allow registering the interpreters
  for the given list of architectures only, instead of using all of the
  ones defined in qemu_target_list. The following is a possible patch
  that implements it:
