             This feature should be used with care as the interpreter
             will run with root permissions when a setuid binary owned by root
             is run with binfmt_misc.
+      'F' - fix binary.  The usual behaviour of binfmt_misc is to spawn the
+           binary lazily when the misc format file is invoked.  However,
+           this doesn't work very well in the face of mount namespaces and
+           changeroots, so the F mode opens the binary as soon as the
+           emulation is installed and uses the opened image to spawn the
+           emulator, meaning it is always available once installed,
+           regardless of how the environment changes.
