It would of course be possible to conduct a 2nd host build which would only be 
updated in accordance with the cross-builds. I suppose it would also be 
possible to strip this 2nd build down to "tools only" by specifying some CMake 
variables. It also needed to be installed within a different prefix to avoid 
conflicts with the normal host build.

However, it would certainly be more efficient and less packaging work to 
simply be able to reuse the normal host build which is already in the 
distribution. So it would just make packaging easier.
