You might possibly be able to do it with a different big-endian machine
such as PPC (it would also have to match on alignment rules and
floating-point format, but I think you'd probably squeak by on those).
Cedric's suggestion of an emulator is probably a surer answer though.

QEMU can emulate an ARM system. It won't be really fast, but it might work for you. Disclaimer: I've never used QEMU to emulate an ARM system, but the docs say that you can.
