I came across a product called Executor from a company called Ardi (www.ardi.com). Basically it's a Macintosh 68k emulator that uses a 680x0 core called Syn68k. By the sounds of it, it does a lot of the same dynamic recompilation as QEMU does. The Ardi web site suggests that the code is either going to be sold or maybe released as Open Source.
Has anyone from the QEMU project (especially Fabrice) contacted the Syn68k authors with a view to helping some of it to "live on" in QEMU ? I notice the m68k support in QEMU is only at a "Dev Only" level. Perhaps some of the "lessons learnt" with Ardi's Executor and Syn68k would move this along further. The reason I came across this is that I've been looking for a HP Apollo Domain emulator to resurrect some old Apollo systems without needing to resurrect the hardware they ran on. The Apollo Domain systems were Motorola 68k family machines. For the most part, the hardware in these systems is not that complex. Probably on a similar footing to the Sparcstation supported in QEMU. Support for Apollo hardware was included into Linux 68k / NetBSD and OpenBSD.
