There already one such thing. It's called slim binaries and is used on
some
Oberon-2 system. These system use some sort of abstract tree
representation
as "byte-code". This AST is then compiled on the fly on the supported
platform.

to
determine malicious programs gets easier to do.
see http://www.ics.uci.edu/~franz/ and look for slim binaries.
