Qemu can emulate one architecture on another. And qemu-user can be used to run a single userspace-program on a different architecture.

I might be very mistaken, but I don't think QEMU can link mixed-architecture dependencies. Box86 can run an x86 game on ARM and link ARM-native shared objects for OpenGL, thus skipping emulation of some hotpath code.
