Are you planning on doing this to convert from a binary on one machine to a binary on another? Is this an on-the-fly translation? Problems I can think of include the format of the executable for whatever OS and hardware is going to load it; proper address correction; proper translation between architectures that do not support the same functionality, for example going from a CISC instruction set to a RISC one; big or little endian orientation problems with both code and data; translating addressing modes from one instruction set to another; etc. For me, the easiest thing to do is recompile the C/C++ (or whatever) source code for the target platform. Let the compiler do the hard part. Besides, it will probably do a much better job than any translator could.
