You are conflating host architecture and target architecture here. The
compiler only targets three architectures at this time, but there is
little limitation in host architectures.

The test suite fails, because it performs the testing for a target
derived from the current host architecture (same conflation).

Unlike gcc and like llvm/clang, qbe is a multi-target compiler with
runtime selection of target architecture. Hence, the test suite should
be repeated for each supported target and for doing so it likely needs
to Build-Depends: qemu-user <!nocheck>.
