When I owned 2 low performance x86 devices, (EeePC 900 & FitPC-1), I experimented with cross-compiling on my AMD64 octa-core server. It worked, but took time to both setup and then maintain. But, in our case, it may make sense. Using a high performance computer, (cloud server, etc...), to make the packages will be faster and less error prone, (no over heating).
My old laptop might need to resort to this, as the Intel Inside security flaws have caused it to be horrible slow at updates. (It's still reasonably fast for normal use.)
I do have a ROCKPro64 I have been meaning to setup. Since it can have a fan installed, it will likely run longer and faster, (less thermal throttling). That would be native arch., though options would have to be tuned for any package differences, (single board verses laptop).
