BTW htonl() and htons() are no-ops on big-endian, so that tip of mine is
nonsense :)
As a workaround for now, you could try to (cross-)compile a (statically
linked) version of usb-boot for x86 or mipsel (or armel/armeabi), and
just launch it via qemu-i386 resp. qemu-mipsel. These qemu-commands do
user-space emulation, i.e. simulate a CPU and just pass syscalls to your
PPC system. This way, they will also pass all the syscalls that access
the USB bus, and I guess this will suffice to make usbboot work.
cheers,
David
