This is also wrong because it confuses riscv32 and riscv64, which 
matters both for tests/tcg, and when creating the Meson cross file[1]

Instead, the "case $cpu" that sets $host_arch must be placed after $cpu 
is canonicalized (and possibly just before $host_arch is used to find 
linux-user).

Even better, there is already a variable $linux_arch that has the same 
meaning.  I'll send a patch to unify the two.
