Microprocessor Simulators on Unix??

I am looking for portable software than runs on Unix that allows simulation
of some of the more modern microprocessors. By portable, I mean something
quite weak here. I mean software that does not depend on the native
processor (or a compatibiltity mode) for the simulation. 

Intel used to provide a fortran based simulator (INTERP80) for
the 8085 that worked reasonably well. They seem to have discontinued
this as the 8085 aged, and are not providing a substitutue for more
recent processors.

For the educational applications I have in mind, the speed of the simulation
is not much of an issue.

Of course a complimentary cross assembler (or compiler) is also needed
to make use of a simulator. However, I have seen enough of these around
to feel that the hard part is producing the simulators. ( For example,
AT&T sells a 68K SGS, MIT has both 8086 and 68K cross-compilers,
Unipress/Amsterdam has a cross-compiler kit for many processors).
