I'm trying to use SDK for an existing image to run cross-compiled code on my host machine. My target is ARM and host is x86_64. The SDK has arm-openbmc-linux-gnueabi toolchains installed.

Perhaps it is relevant - an alternative approach is to build the unit tests and modules for the host machine (by enabling a native variant in the recipe), and then they should simply run. If you are not testing ARM-specific code, then it shouldn't matter.
Generally, we don't attempt to run target unit tests on the host machine - they go into target image, and are executed natively on the target.
Qemu emulation for running binaries kind of works, and we use it for a few things like gobject introspection and pre-generating data caches, but it is notoriously tricky and prone to breakage.
