Any way to compile V8 for PPC?

[Egor Egorov]

Is there any way I could compile V8 for a ppc32 machine (running linux)? Or code generation is mandatory in V8? 

[Rodolph Perfetta]

Code generation is mandatory.

Any chance to use ARM simulator to get V8 working for ppc? 

[Søren Gjesse]

That should be possible (the MIPS simulator should work as well), however you will need to run in 32-bit mode as the simulators only work with a 32-bit "host". However the simulator is _very_ slow, so I don't see any real life use of this set-up. On IA-32 the ARM simulator is more than a factor of 100 slower than native IA-32 on the V8 Benchmark Suite.

Oh, that much slower is indeed not for production.
