I vaguely intend to get Firmware Linux to rebuild itself under qemu. Right now it's building target images for nine different platforms. (Although that's not as impressive as it sounds. Two of them, sparc and powerpc, don't actually run under qemu yet. i586 and armv5l are trivial variants of i686 and armv4l. And and mips big endian just got added today and wasn't in the last release.) Anyway, I've found compiling large software packages to be a reasonable stress test for most systems, and it's entirely scriptable. Not much of a test of any of the peripheral hardware, though.
