Yes, just like Grub, I think we should use the host compiler, otherwise
if the targeted system is x86-64, our cross-compiling toolchain will be
64 bits only, and we won't be able to build syslinux or grub.

At some point, Jean-Christophe Plagnol-Villard made a patch that
allowed some packages to depend on the host architecture (so that
things like SAM-BA wouldn't be shown). Maybe we need to use something
like this to hide syslinux/grub when the host architecture is not
x86/x86-64.

Best regards,

Thomas
