> Someone reported running an ARM binary of Gforth on an Intel-based Android tablet; and I expect that Android also has emulation the other way round.

Intel developed an ARM-to-x86 binary translator (Houdini) for their Android BSP, for compatibility with popular apps that contain ARM-only native code; I suspect that's why it worked. I doubt anyone has done it the other way round, because there are approximately zero Android apps with Intel-only native code.
