From my understanding the following are true:

The GP32 has a 133 Mhz ARM9 and the GP2X's main processor is a 200 Mhz ARM9.
The GP2X uses the same screen as the BLU+.
The GP32 has no supporting chips.
The GP32 has numberous custom firmwares and even some that serve as a boot-loader for multiple firmwares.

Given that the above statements are accurate are any of the following possible?:

A multi-firmware that gives the choice between the GP2X firmware and one or more of the GP32 Firmwares, that have been modified to read SD cards. Similar in concept to dual-booting Linux and Windows on a PC.
A custom Firmware capable of running both GP32 and GP2X executables.
A GP2X application that attempts to run GP32 software. Similar to what WINE does for Windows Software on Linux.

Or is my thinking merely a pipedream?
 
The GP32 doesn't run Linux, it runs a proprietary OS that GP never released any sort of information about. I may be wrong but that's what I've gathered from reading around here, although there may have been some Linux firmwares developed for it externally.
 
A quick search yielded This Topic, among several others.
