Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of a Game Boy Advance ROM into native executable code requires profound reverse-engineering expertise and deep knowledge of ARM7TDMI hardware architectures.

What it would actually take: Requires binary disassembly and static recompilation frameworks (like gbarecomp) to translate ARM7TDMI machine code and GBA memory-mapped I/O (PPU, APU, timers, DMA) into native C/C++ representations. Ensuring cycle accuracy, fixing decompilation bugs, and writing native wrappers for rendering via modern graphics APIs (SDL/OpenGL) demands high-level emulator/systems programming mastery.
