Hmm it gets built if you do:

  ➜  make qemu-system-aarch64
  [1/6] Generating qemu-version.h with a custom command (wrapped by meson to capture output)

and there seems to be logic in that refers to test_emulator =
emulators['qemu-system-' + target_base] which ensures the other targets
have it built. I'll see if there is a good place to hook that
requirement in for check-tcg.
