Ah well...

I figured it out. It turned qemu-user is a different package.
So I have "qemu-system" installed, but not "qemu-user".

Without building from source, just do this on Ubuntu:

  $ sudo apt-get install qemu-user -y
  ...
  Preparing to unpack .../qemu-user_1%3a6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu6.6_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking qemu-user (1:6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu6.6) ...
  Selecting previously unselected package qemu-user-binfmt.
  Preparing to unpack .../qemu-user-binfmt_1%3a6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu6.6_amd64.deb ...

  Setting up qemu-user-binfmt (1:6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu6.6) ...
  Processing triggers for man-db (2.10.2-1) ...

  $ which qemu-x86_64
  /usr/bin/qemu-x86_64

  $ sudo make run-user
  MKDIR   sysroot/x86/include

Sorry for that. I didn't know that they come from different packages.
It works fine for me now.
