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.

The distro wrapper also takes care of partition, package selection,
configuration etc.

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.
