It is an option to look for an alternative interpreter, but I would
rather use /lib/alpha-linux-gnu/ld.so.2 instead
of /usr/gnemul/qemu-alpha/lib/ld-linux.so.2.

I make this amendment:

What happens today on your systems:

     1. Kernel starts the alpha emulator.
     2. The emulator looks for /lib/ld-linux.so.2.
     3. User has configured the emulator to redirect all file operations
        to sysroot/lib/ld-linux.so.2.
     4. The program runs, but the path /lib/ld-linux.so.2 will not work
        as expected.
