In this case, we don't want to modify QEMU to manage special case based on the binary name but
instead use a wrapper:

- add a proper parameter to manage the argv0 case
  [like this one https://patchew.org/QEMU/20191024153847.31815-1-laurent@vivier.eu/
   but I think now it would be better to use a new flag rather than using -0 ""]

- write a wrapper and name it "/usr/libexec/qemu-binfmt/foo-binfmt-P"

- the wrapper will call qemu-foo with the new parameter:

something like (with the example patch above):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>

static const char *baseargv[] = {
        "-0",
        "",
};

int main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp) {
        char *newargv[argc + sizeof(baseargv) / sizeof(char *) + 1];
        int current = 0;

        newargv[current] = argv[0];
        current++;

        memcpy(&newargv[current], baseargv, sizeof(baseargv));
        current += sizeof(baseargv) / sizeof(char *);

        memcpy(&newargv[current], &argv[1], sizeof(*argv) * (argc - 1));
        current += argc - 1;

        newargv[current] = NULL;

        return execve("/qemu-foo", newargv, envp);
}

Thanks,
Laurent
