Over the last few days I've put a lot of time into setting up up a
fairly fast system with various CPU emulators- mostly Qemu but also a
couple of others- and getting compilation times etc. from them. It might
interest anybody who is weighing up the attractiveness of native vs
cross compilation.

My major motivation was entirely practical: I wanted a Windows
development system a bit more convenient than relying on removable
caddies, and I needed to recycle my development ARM system and didn't
have a convenient "real" replacement. Other architectures such as MIPS
were incidental...
