I like the idea, as long as you can also run the tcg tests without docker. How many of the qemu archs debian cross tools support? last time I looked there was annoying limitations, but I can't remember the details.

crosstool-ng has perhaps more potential, especially if devs would share their config/samples (we could then have a cross-distro packaging with flatpack?)
