I've done some tests using scratchbox and iliad executables work in it!
Scratchbox is a cross-comiling development environment for linux that uses qemu (or real hardware) to execute the "alien" executables (arm in our case) but native tools for cross-compiling and execute the scripts. It's used for maemo development (the nokia 770 webpad).
Using the atached script to execute iliad binaries (edit the script to change the username so that it matches the one of your machine), I was able to execute xpdf and xebreader.
Attached is a screenshot of this nice moment (executing iliad's xpdf in scrtachbox)
.
It's used as in:
[sbox-armgcc401libc232: ~] > ./iliad.sh usr/bin/xpdf launch4-a5.pdf
