Anything is possible with emulation.. PPC is binary compatible with the
Mac, and Intel x86 DOS if you run SoftWindows. I agree it'd be a pain
in the ass, and nobody would want to do it, but I certainly wouldn't
call it impossible.

They could be compiling it on an IBM PPC, they say they've got a
native-mode compiler, and the only ones I know of are MetroWorks
CodeWarrior, and the IBM AIX compiler.
