Architecture emulation with qemu-userspace is 5-10x slower than running a native build.
The only 'proper' no-friction cross-compilation system I know is Debian/Ubuntu, because it allows to install foreign architecture libraries into your native system, and has all the wrappers for cross-compilation in dpkg-buildpackage.
This way you don't have to maintain cross-compiler or toolchain/sysroot, you just install whatever dependencies you need with the regular `apt install` of another architecture.
I'd like to have more friendly tooling around that instead of a slow compilation of architecture emulation.
