Comment (by X512):
PowerPC BeOS binaries have non-elf format(binary start by "Joy!"), haven't
they?
Also it will be good if Haiku's runtime_loader could use dynamic
translator if target and host architecture differs. Dynamic translator can
be found in Qemu sources. For PowerPC it mostly don't have practical
reasons, but when Haiku will be ported to ARM users could run x86
binaries(from BeOS and new) on ARM tablets and smartphones.
