The ROS (http://www.ros.org/) team uses qemu and docker to build native arm packages on our buildfarm. So this is a pretty significant roadblock for us as we prepare our next release based on bionic.

Many of our build processes rely on bash scripts, but even if we were to port all of those away from bash, it's an essential package and building an image without it is not really tenable. I have packaged bash with the -no-pie flag restored and that's working for us at the moment, but even incorporating that into our image baking process is not very clean (https://github.com/osrf/multiarch-docker-image-generation/pull/21).

If upstream's solution is not preferred. Is there another way to get bash working under qemu within the release window?
