It's not emulation, it's cross-compilation which has existed basically forever. You don't have to target the same instruction set as the one you're compiling on.

I am well aware of that, I was referencing the concept of "cross-compilation" the GP seemed to have.

I see what you mean now, using like qemu or something. So "emulated native compilation". It is an interesting concept. Sorry for misunderstanding you.

Indeed, "virtualbox-the-crosscompiler" (probably from hell). QEMU would be a few orders of magnitude slower but I think it supports many more archs.
No hard feelings :)
