> How to build a linux emulator?

You can't. Linux usermode emulation only works on linux hosts.

Doing cross emulation is in theory possible, however in practice it gets 
extremely messy for anything other than the trivial case and it's unclear 
whether it's worth the effort, or whether qemu is the appropriate place to do 
this (c.f. WINE).

You can of course run linux inside the system emulator.
