rather than do the difficult task first for which you will receive
exactly the same amount of money can i suggest doing the easy task
as a shell script with some "grep" commands in it then see if you
feel like doing qemu after that?

after all, if you *know* that the binaries have no VSX instuctions
because the scripts informed you of this why the go to the trouble of
executing them?

also the scripts will find untested codepaths that simply running
the binaries will not.
