These days I'd be QEMU is the best approach if you don't have hardware.

Not sure if there's any reasonable documentation on it.  The embecosm 
folks might have suitable docs on their web page along with the dejagnu 
configuration files.

I personally prefer to use binfmt handlers since it doesn't require any 
dejagnu hackery and once the binfmt handlers are set up you can do so 
much more than just run individual tests in the testsuite easily.  For 
example, if you have a RFS you can do full bootstraps rather than just 
testing crosses.
