For this step we need to modify tools/configure. * select wanted target * select simulator * buildsystem needs now to generate a config-x86 on-the-fly based on config-xxx of selected target. But I am not a build system guru.. so somebody need to help out, if my idea of a simulator is wanted and accepted by the community and the developers.
