Nice.

I've made a RiscPC emulator in the browser using QEMU and WASM. It boots
Linux kernels and currently emulates a StrongARM RiscPC:

I used LLMs a lot while building it.

Your GCC work looks useful for this. I will look at building the RiscPC
Linux kernel with it, and at emulating the original ARMv3 CPU too.

Thanks,
Karl
