As much as I see this failing on salsa-ci, I cannot reproduce this
failure locally. This output is from the nested configure invocation.
For reference, the invocation is:
configure: running /bin/bash ./configure --disable-option-checking
'--prefix=/usr' 'CC_FOR_BUILD=' '--infodir=${prefix}/share/info'
'--host=aarch64-linux-gnu' 'CXX=' '--localstatedir=/var' 'FC_FOR_BUILD='
'CXX_FOR_BUILD=' 'CFLAGS=-g -O2 -Werror=implicit-function-declaration
-ffile-prefix-map=/builds/debian/otf2/debian/output/source_dir=.
-fstack-protector-strong -fstack-clash-protection -Wformat
-Werror=format-security -mbranch-protection=standard' 'CXXFLAGS=-g -O2

'FC=' '--libdir=${prefix}/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu'

'ac_scorep_cross_compiling=no' --cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=.
Please observe that the 5th option is --host. It is not clear to me why
that is failing on salsa-ci and succeeding locally in sbuild. I suggest
that you move ahead and we check crossqa.debian.net.
