Yes, I am aware of endianess issue found by Darwine people when integrating it with Qemu to run x86/PE binaries on PowerPC: http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX It is said byteswapping isn't worth trouble but if Rosetta did it (only in reverse direction) isn't this issue only about developers work time and not about performance? Then it seems Sparc V9 can switch to little endian to access data. > So where do we go from here? Right to the binary translation (or even dynamic recompilation), I guess. S.
