A network file system that is mounted by machines of different arch. Plan 9 did it that way many years ago. You had /mips/bin, /386/bin, …, as well as a directory for arch-less executables (shell scripts).
On startup, the setup scripts would bind the appropriate directories for the local machine so that their contents would be available at /bin. It used bind/union mounts instead of $PATH but you could do the same thing with $PATH on Unix.
