I don't know how much x86 code there is, but if it's fairly generic, it 
shouldn't be too much work getting it to compile.

I ported the command line version of my wxBasic interpreter over to the Mac 
using the free Mac tools with very little effort. It's basically the same as 
the Linux version, with only one or two #includes differing. 

If you have the Euphoria source and a very fast x86 machine, you could try 
compiling it under Darwin running the PearPC emulator. The JIT version 
apparently only goes 15 time slower than a real PowerPC (the "generic" 
version runs about 500 times slower).

I'd offer to try it myself (I've got temporary access to a Mac), but I'd have 
to figure out how makefiles work first...
