[snip] emulators! emulators emulators emulators emulators emulators! You can emulate x86 (32, 64 bit) on your ppc via qemu-devel. I know that mips, mipsel, mips64, mips64el all work via qemu-system-*. sparc64 is .. coming. I'm not sure about arm, but I know arm64 can run in the emulator fine. So hm, can you automate firing things up in emulators? -adrian
