Hi,

There did exist a small AmigaOS emulator for Amiga UNIX, basically
implementing a hunk loader and a few exec.library and dos.library calls.
This was rumored to be sufficient to run e.g. the SAS C compiler.
I tried it once on Linux/m68k, and it could run a simple Hello World.
The only entrypoint you need to provide to run AmigaOS binaries is a
pointer to ExecBase at address 4. If TOS doesn't use that location for
something else, you can implement AmigaOS support.
Good luck! ;-)

There's also vamos, which even sports a 68k emulator (it has Musashi
built in), so you can run SAS/C and similar command line Amiga software on
non-68k hardware.
It's in this repo, mixed up with a bunch of other interesting tools, like
an RDB disk image creator, etc:

If I get it right it's somehow written in Python, which sounds scary, but
I've seen it in action and it looked like it's working. Never tried it
myself tho', but I tried other software from the same repo, and they
worked nicely.
