ColdFire Project?

Well, could a recompilation system do it?  Using AROS you could make an OS which would, rather than JIT emulation, re-compile the apps.  The coldfire is similar enough that it could work.

The trouble is those wayward instuctions also may exist in the OS not just the apps. So just like pokemon, you got to catch them all. :-P

Some say JIT is the only way and why bother, but I think a prescann-replace solution could work. It would be similar to the way vmware handles code on non-100% compatibly x86 families.

How would an OS compiled for the Coldfire not run on the Coldfire?  Note, I said AROS, not AmigaOS, so you could compile it for the right cpu faily.
