It is pretty clear that is not what the poster was asking about, but there are two ways this can happen: When your CPU supports multiple architectures at the same time. I recently learned of a couple of vendors of CPUs that have a MIPSish native ISA but also support MIPS, ARM, x86 and RISC-V (with the latter 3 being slower than the native ISA and MIPS). When you install qemu-user-static and run the binaries on an amd64 system, or create an emulated machine using qemu-system-* and install a full ARM OS in them. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
