I did see that there's an ObjectContainer for universal mach-o executables but that's not triggered during ModuleList.GetSharedModule (Which is used by ResolveExecutable). What can I do to get this working? I load the file first then connect to a remote server for debugging purposes.

Problem is that at the time I load it, I don't know the architecture 
yet. The remote server knows, but I need an SBTarget to connect to the 
remote server, and creating a target (SBDebugger::CreateTarget) requires 
the filename and architecture (at which point it fails to load).
