lots of work have been done already. wine has been ported (a while ago)
and
ran (as winelib) on PowerPC. So, the endianness shouldn't be too much of
an issue.
What should remain is:
- compiler: gcc stickiness
- disabling/getting rid of 16 bit code
- and of course, evolutions of the code since the port was (half)-done
