What do you mean exactly?
Saying that, ARM is the only emulation that I've gotten working
where I've actually built GDC ontop of.
For anyone interested:
Here are prebuilt Debian Squeeze(2.6.32) / Wheezy(3.2.0) images for
Versatile/QEMU: http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/armel/ (link
taken from http://wiki.redsleeve.org/index.php/QEMU). They should
work out of the box :-)
Here's guide on emulating Versatile platform (it's based on older
Debian Etch): http://www.aurel32.net/info/debian_arm_qemu.php
I think GDC should run on plain Debian Wheezy just fine.
I actually used that VM image some time ago. My main problem was that
qemu crashed often, but that could have been my fault.
How long ago? Because these images seem to be updated frequently (actual
images are from december 2013). I think I can take a look and prepare
working QEMU + VM image for auto tester. I just need some free time...
Compiling on QEMU is quite slow IIRC, but Brad would have to decide if
an emulator solution or a real board is better for the auto tester.
Ok, but personally I would never compile on the board (slow!). I would
rather use a cross-compiler.
Do you have any experience with the cubieboard (1)?
Sorry, no.

be quite nice cause SD-cards are a real bottleneck when compiling. But
I never used one of those boards so I don't know how well they're
working...
I recall that with Raspberry Pi I was using network file system hosted
on my local machine. SD card was used only for boot. It worked pretty good.
