Hi,

trying to cross-build an Isar image for ARM inside a Docker container, I
ran into another dependency that currently prevents unprivileged builds:
transparent cross-execution of binaries via binfmt_misc (configured by
binfmt-support).

In order to allow that, I need to start the container with --privileged
rights, and it will consequently reconfigure the host kernel according
to its own desire. That cannot work on container-based CI systems, only
inside VMs.

So we either need to overcome this feature as well (dunno if/how other
distros are using it) or give up on Docker-based build and go into a VM.
