... or just use your distro's (or self-built without --cpu=)
qemu-system-arm (with appropriate -machine argument) on the x86_64
machine to emulate an ARM machine, and within that use the gcc of the
distro for building arm packages natively.

A chroot using linux-user is another more advanced way to do the same.
