While it's hard to find cross compilers packaged for arches other than
x86_64 the same cannot be said for the x86_64 compiler which is
available on Debians i386, arm64 and ppc64el release architectures.

Dunno why only these 3 hosts, but what you have matches the data in 
packages.debian.org.

I did try and convince the packagers to build all the cross gcc's for
all the arches but they did point out (reasonably) that it would be
quite an explosion of binary size in the repos. But at least mainline
arches are getting better support in other mainline arches.
