After noticing that the produced miBoot binaries weren't functional I  
tried to compile a PPC only version of BootX that doesn't need the  
68k emulator.
Therefore I had to replace the method of entering ppc supervisor mode  
by another one I found in the web. I hoped that would make it  
possible to get the x100 G3 updates running the linux kernel.
There had to be made quite some changes in the source code but it  
worked on my PowerBook Wallstreet (PCI, OpenFirmware) - but didn't  
enter the kernel, unfortunately. After testing on the PB 1400 later  
on I discovered that the other method of entering ppc supervisor mode  
doesn't work on the 1400 - and probably won't work on any NuBus machine.
However, It was worth a try...
