The problem is not it's not useful. I'd like to run Linux programs on
MacOS and MacOS X programs on LinuxPPC. What is missing is a complete
Linux syscall emulation on MacOS. But, as there is a Linux syscall API
in FreeBSD, the thing to do, I think, is to make it work as a Darwin
kernel extension, then run LinuxPPC qemu natively.
This may not be trivial: Apple anounced they'll do it for Panther and
they seem to have renounced.
