Support for the Android emulator using the msm8960 device build

Hello,

I am attempting to test out AOSP package, trimmed for an embedded device
using intended to run on the MSM8960. Prior to having hardware I would
like to test the Android code base using the Android emulator and
running with the prebuilt kernel included in the code aurora source
package.  Now prior to making any changes to the default AOSP target
(using the 8960 manifest) I wanted to test running the emulator without
a display. However, once I build the msm8960 target, and run this with
the prebuilt qemu kernel, adb logcat displays an endless loop as the
JNI_CreateJavaVM fails. I believe this is the correct mailing list to
post this question, but please let me know if I am mistaken. 

My question is if there is support for running the Android emulator
using the stock code aurora distribution built for the 8960? Any
suggestions are appreciated, I have searched Google, the AOSP source,
and mailing list without success yet for identifying a solution to my
problem.

The steps I have run are:

1) Using the M8960AAAAANLYA1021.xml manifest build the full AOSP target 
       . build/envsetup.sh
       choosecombo 1 2 msm8960 3
       m
2) Run the emulator using the prebuilt qemu armv7 kernel instead of the
kernel built with the code aurora:
      emulator -verbose -no-window -kernel
prebuilt/android-arm/kernel/kernel-qemu-armv7
3) Connect to the running emulator instance, first confirm shell access
