generic-fuzz is not a standalone fuzzer - it requires some env variables
to be set. On oss-fuzz, we set these with some predefined
generic-fuzz-{...} targets, that are thin wrappers around generic-fuzz.
Remove generic-fuzz from the oss-fuzz build, so oss-fuzz does not treat
it as a standalone fuzzer.

I'm presuming that the target that you're removing is being created by
this line, maybe we should just specifically skip it here instead?

The comment below on the removal probably would still apply though.

Also, did you look into using hard-links, or even sym-links - they would
require less duplication of the binaries, which may be important, or may
not, and quicker creation too, e.g.

      ln qemu-fuzz-i386 "$DEST_DIR/qemu-fuzz-i386-target-$target"

It's something that has been done for years, for example if you do:

      ls -il /sbin/{e2fsck,fsck.ext*}

you will see they share the same inode. Similarly for vi and ex, they
use symlinks (hardlinks on some OSes, but seems not Linux):

      ls -il /bin/{vi,ex}

The main point is that argv[0] will be the name of link itself, not the
thing pointed to.

Thanks,

Darren.

Sounds good.

This is what I tried, when I was putting together the patch-series, and
it raised an error when I was testing it in the oss-fuzz
docker-containers. I blamed it on Docker, originally, but I just took a
closer look, and the problem was that "qemu-fuzz-i386" isn't on the same
file-system as $DEST_DIR in the oss-fuzz Docker. If I copy
qemu-fuzz-i386 to $DEST_DIR/lib, and do 
    ln "$DEST_DIR/lib/qemu-fuzz-i386" \
       "$DEST_DIR/qemu-fuzz-i386-target-$target"
everything works :)
Thanks

Fair enough then!
