To the best of my understanding, cross-compilation currently is incompatible
with running test suites, unless one uses QEMU or other pure-software emulation
mechanisms. These cause problems with code that depends on CPU features.
At the same time, the rise of languages such as Rust and C++, which require
more CPU and RAM during build, is making it very difficult to natively compile
on slow processors.
One potential solution would be for RPM to support running the test suite
remotely, or at least in a separate step.
