Can you emulate cross compilers written for x86 on ARMv8-A?

Hello,

The Raspberry Pi forums just banned me, and while they probably banned me for 
asking beginner-level questions they saw as inappropriate, I feel compelled to 
clear the air. They didn't formally give me a reason.

I had one of those shower thoughts: if you want to run a cross compiler to 
rewrite x86 software to work on your ARM computer, but those you found only 
work on x86, couldn't you emulate an x86 system just long enough to rewrite 
software so it no longer needs an emulator? I understand that compilers 
translate into high-level languages for a reason, even if I don't know why; and 
everyone who would speak to me suggested just about everything else, but for 
sake of completeness, what would happen if I did this the wrong way?


Thanks,
Matt Timpson 🍉
