Well I'm happy with QEMU for now (a new version would be nice), but the
more the better.
SDL should be ok (I think someone updated the port at Haikuports), yasm
and nasm should be available. Dunno for IASL, maybe it's along with
ACPICA in the source tree ?
The rest I don't think anyone ported yet. At least not me.
