I would just go with a, but I think your choices are:
a) Ship fail-mbr.bin as part of the package source and don't build it
- You already seem to be shipping it with the source
- This should be OK as long as you also distribute the .S and
Makefile.am, and if fail-mbr.bin can be proven to be built from the
same source.
b) Split the fail-mbr into a separate arch:all package and only build it
when binary-indep is called. You can then say in README.source that
this extra package can only be built on x86. The buildds won't try
and build it.
c) Build a cross toolchain as part of your build process. You might be
able to get away with just binutils here. You can build-depend on
binutils-source to get the source.

firmware-free doesn't actually build anything, it just ships all the
binaries.
