If you're really patient, it is, but waiting 8 hours for TiEmu to build was
a PITA. ;-) As I said, I've done that for the x86_64 packages on
repo.calcforge.org before I got this nice 64-bit laptop I can build my
x86_64 packages on, it was really annoying. And Qt and KDE would probably
take days if not weeks to build in QEMU software emulation.
