I looked at PearPC running on an X86 and was able to get Debian ppc Linux installed on it.
I was looking to use it as a pseudo native platform to do crossplatform development. The performance was slow. But otherwise it was interesting. Eventually I bought a powerbook off eBay cheap. Most of the time I use cross tools, but now and then it is useful to have a running PPC based system to sanity check what you are trying to do on the embedded system you are developing for. Of cource the closer it is to the platform you are developing for the better. I thought about modifying PearPc to emulate my hardware, but it looked too much like wark and no one was paying for it. The idea is still somewhat intriguing. developing for an embedded system on a software emulator for that system. Yes, I know that is not an new idea.
