That would IMHO be a rather hard requirement for small benefit, as (that's one reason, there are others) qemu can hide issues: e.g. I had an armel segfault during a build that was not reproducible in a qemu instance, only on a real machine. Having qemu support can be very useful, but it's far from being the holy grail for porting to exotic architectures.
