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.
