Not quite. Amiga programs make use of system functions to a greater or
lesser extent. Some of these will run as native PPC code in OS 4.0, with
more following in later releases.
Whilst it would be possible to write x86 replacements for system
functions, Amithlon supports in line X86 code, it is less likely as
these would need to be coded from scratch instead of ported from existing
sources, unless Amiga were to licence the porting.
