To the best of my knowledge, I don't.

Linux distribution
I compiled a 2.6.20 Linux kernel (I guess any other version would
work provided there is still an FPU emulator). The Linux kernel
configuration, patch and the source code of the Linux starter (kind
of BIOS) are available: linuxstart-20110526.tar.gz.
The disk image is just a ram disk image loaded at boot time. It
contains a filesystem generated with Buildroot containing BusyBox. I
added my toy C compiler TinyCC and my unfinished but usable emacs
clone QEmacs.

Due to security concerns in the browser sandboxes, I think that you
would need to host both your own copy and the emulator on the same
domain, but that would be about it.
