Not sure if Emacs falls into this category. It doesn't, for the same reason Emacs cannot be cross-compiled targeting any other system: building Emacs requires running the built binary. As long as dumping Emacs is being used, it's also impractical with Emacs. > At least I know it's possible to *run* the w32 version of Emacs > under GNU/Linux using Wine AFAIK, running Emacs under Wine requires a specially-formatted command, like "wine emacs.exe" or some such, so the build system needs changes to support that, and so does CI.
