Are you sure?[0]
As I know, Symbian has ARM & x86.[1]
Maybe not all x86 calls are accepted, but take a look on Symbian 9.x X-plore & ProfiMail apps sources, which are ARM & x86 compatible.[2,3]
P.S. Here is EKA2L1 — Symbian emulator.[4]

- retrac 6y agoAh! I see what you mean there. An emulator that could take an x86 Symbian binary and translate the calls like this for ARM Symbian. Yes, that should probably be technically possible.
