Are they unusable? I find it hard to believe that emulated builds are that
horrible for building in when we don't have much hardware for ARM builds...
If we are talking about cross-compiling emultation builds (some people
use that term so I need to make sure I am clear) then I think we
haven't looked into it because we don't do cross-compiles in the main
build system. If we are talking about using qemu to emulate arm, the
problem is that the speed was so slow that it was interfering with
builds thinking they were broken (timed out) when they were just
really slow. However that was a long time ago (2 years?) so it may
have improved.
