I would think that unless you're dealing with assembly code, most of these concerns are abstracted out. Just recompile for the right target arch and you should be good, right?

No, because while it will generate Intel code for the JavaScript compiler source, that Intel code when it runs will be generating PowerPC code. Like I say, I haven't really made the changes for crosscompilation because it's only building for PPC, and I don't have any way of testing them. Some stuff I added is hardcoded to build PPC and the stuff that isn't, I haven't tested.

By not difficult, do you mean not difficult for a programmer, or not difficult for someone who knows almost no programming?

The former. It's not a trivial change.

I have to say this candidly: if you're on a legacy machine and you want continued support, you're going to be doing it yourself. I write TenFourFox because I have a need. It just happens to be a need a lot of other people have, so I make it available to them, but I write it first and foremost for me. So if you have a need for it, go for it -- working on Classilla taught me a lot about Mozilla code, which I leveraged working on TenFourFox. Dive in and learn. I wouldn't be as familiar with the source and the way the browser is constructed without getting my hands dirty. I'm certainly willing to give suggestions and tips.
