Why AROS *PPC* specifically? Do you think that LibreOffice, which is written in the ISA-agnostic high level language that is C++ (that's why it is available compiled for various ISAs like x86(-64) and PPC), would be rewritten to PPC ASM when ported to AmigaOS-like operating systems?
I just meant that AROS for PPC might benefit from some of the PPC specific code that was created during the porting process to MorphOS3.x (and/or AmigaOS4.x), not that AROS for x86/x64 could not also do their own port (probably much easier due to better tool chain(s) being available and not needing to cross architecture converting of the native Libre Office code). I am not a programmer (yet), so it will be no surprise if some (or all) of my ideas are rebuffed by any programmer with technical reasons why I am wrong in my assumptions.
