Hello,

It might sound useless but the WINAPI supported Itanium PPC MIPSR4000 and dec
alpha in the past.

While windows doesn't provide updates for those platforms, compiling programs
written for the WINAPI  to those arch is the best way to get decent speeds (not
to add the need of support for ARC firmware which prevent running them on
recent ppc).

Of course this is not for emulating instructions sets but for running windows
programs natively on those platforms.

For testing on x86 an ARC bios for MIPS which can work on qemu is documented
here http://gunkies.org/wiki/Installing_Windows_NT_4.0_on_Qemu(MIPS)
Visual C++ RISC editions for those platforms are available here
