Trivially.
Depending on which host the "real" program is run on, the other
architecture's object file may be treated as data.
It may even be data.  Imagine machine generating a bunch of data
and imagine the data being used in multiple programs, some 
which run on one architecture and some which run on the other.

Sorry I'm coming into this late.  Catching up on old mail.
