The libbsd.txt recommends you run some tests but doesn't say exactly how.

Not sure what you mean that you found. An executable file called 
"realview_pbx_a9_qemu"? Qemu snapshot in git for the above sha1?

I see that the sha1 you reference above is now HEAD in qemu git. Does 
RSB build qemu? I have seen indications that it can since there is a
