Invalid ELF image for this architecture

Question

I'm trying to load a Busybox binary with qemu-ppc-static with this command:

sudo chroot . ./qemu-ppc-static ./bin/busybox

And I get this error:

/lib/ld.so.1: Invalid ELF image for this architecture

lib/ld.so.1 is in the chrooted directory but it looks like it's trying to load another ld.so.1

file busybox:

bin/busybox: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.4.3, stripped

And what does file lib/ld.so.1 say?

You get this error message because the ELF is stripped. See qemu-vs-strip for more information.

This problem is fixed in the latest QEMU, so you have to update your QEMU or compile the latest from source.

I did compile the latest version: qemu-ppc version 2.6.0, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard But now I get this error with this command: sudo chroot . ./qemu-ppc ./bin/busybox chroot: failed to run command ‘./qemu-ppc’: No such file or directory

qemu-ppc is in the chroot directory
