Well, there's lots that could be done, but discussing how to circumvent the rules is already into uncomfortable territory for this forum IMO.

But, assuming that was resolved, you'd still be left with a 32bit PPC-only solution that still requires quite a bit of work to be generally useful, and once all that work is done, it sure seems to me like it'd ultimately end up looking a lot like a rootless Executor.

FWIW, following the instructions in the Executor README, it built and runs fine i386 on 10.6 for me.

I hadn't intended to compare performance, but I couldn't help but notice the difference when I ran my GrayBox version of FDisasm against my IIsi ROM annotations vs. Executor with the same thing.

GrayBox:

Code:
real	0m23.311s
user	0m19.823s
sys	0m0.140s
Executor:

Code:
real	0m1.890s
user	0m0.545s
sys	0m0.316s
