kvm in ppc32

now that we have kvm available for ppc32, has anyone tried to play with it ?
Kernel part builds just fine, userland is where i´m confused : qemu-kvm-0.13 from portage tree doesnt build and searching through the lists for the build failure the main developer suggests to use upstream qemu from git with kvm enabled, which i did, but fails to build too with some weird asm error ( as far as i understand it ... ).

Im mainly looking for a mol replacement.

TIA

Wait wait wait. My Powerbook G4 has a Book3S CPU?! I thought that was only e400 series PPC32s! MY WEEK HAS BEEN MADE!

Playing with it now!

@gringo

see this thread from qemu-devel ml:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2011-02/msg02250.html

and here a working port from CRUX PPC for gcc-4.5.x:

(see the Pkgfile script)

hope this helps,
