I beleive these "universal binaries" are run through emulation, as there is no
system that can run code compiled on another without a compability layer or
Emulator.  Just like my PS3 can run ps1 and ps2 games, but only becasue the PS3
system software has ps1 and ps2 emulators for the translations.

This is also the same when running programs compiled in Linux on a BSD system,
BSD has a linux compability layer that translates the code to run on the BSD
system, without this, linux programs would not run on BSD at all.
