Hello!

How to build a linux emulator? I can't do it, lots of errors.

When I finally decided to read the documentation, I have found a
surprising statement that linux user mode is for linux hosts only. How
could it be? It's a contrary to QEMU's emulate-anything-on-anything
spirit. I have found that darwin-user is supported on Mac OS X, but it
is of little use since:
a) one can already launch ppc&i386 binaries
b) Nobody targets darwin. Most downloads on sourceforge, nongnu, tigris,
etc. are linux&windows (no darwin!), because free software developers
don't have Macs. And even if they have, Mac OS X is a moving target (so
was Linux in 2000), chances are high that contributed build won't work
due to Apple constantly inventing new incompatibilities.

Linux emulator would be a breath of fresh air for Mac owners.

What do I need to build qemu-linux-user? It seems that I need generic
linux syscall implementation. Do you know where I can get one?
