So - it's not so much that you need a PPC emulator as that you need to be able to run an ancient version of glibc. You load the PPC emulator so that you can load an ancient glibc.
That sure seems like something that could be fixed. However - pthreads were always a big mystery to me, so I understand the reticence to touch that kind of code.
Yes -- I think that sums it up.
