Then just build natively on that.
... or just use your distro's (or self-built without --cpu=) qemu-system-arm (with appropriate -machine argument) on the x86_64 machine to emulate an ARM machine, and within that use the gcc of the distro for building arm packages natively. A chroot using linux-user is another more advanced way to do the same.
