IIRC Apple's ARM implementation has a lot of extensions that coincidentally work just like x86.

Frankly I'm gobsmacked at how many "universal binary" formats are just two native executables in a trenchcoat. Especially after MS and Apple both got deep into intermediate representation formats. Even a static machine-code-only segment would simplify the hell out of emulation.
