Everything. Here's a good thing to try: make a makefile for some 68k app that
will spawn at least 4 or 5 vfork()'d processes (a sub-makefile or two, another
shell, a gcc command..). If you ctrl-c the make process chances are ixemul will
throw a wobbly at you.
PPC ixemul (and 68k ixemul 48.2) have had their signal processing revamped for
PPC so that they work much better, but 68k ixemul is still behind in terms of
stability and maturity to the v49 versions MorphOS uses.

Yeah... around for 68k for yonks, but nobody has tried recompiling and getting
something going for PPC, have they?

Pretty useless then :)
