You would not be able to run old binaries (be it PPC or x86) because 
the compilers that are used have different name mangling for C++ 
symbols.
The GCC software packet can be used to create many different binary 
formats.
Theoretically, it would be possible to support different binary formats 
in OpenBeOS, but I see little or no benefit due to that.

Adios...
