Technically, binary files contains the CPU instruction, and should work on same CPU.
I have 'ported' many of the binaries (like dpkg to dead rat as mc required dpkg to open a .deb file, did not dare the reverse) Its a tricky business as both disro should be using same libc or glibc and library / conf file also should be taken care off. > >>Binaries has nothing to do with distro.

You can create your own distro by copying certain files to a separate partition. and boot it with loadlin. You can borrow binaries from different distro also.
