Looks better than what I did, that indeed was a stopgap solution till
something better came along.

There are newer toolchains in my container collection to cross build
arm64/arm:

17 debian:experimental-x-arm64 : Ok aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc (Debian 7.3.0-15) 7.3.0
46 ubuntu:16.04-x-arm : Ok arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9) 5.4.0 20160609
47 ubuntu:16.04-x-arm64 : Ok aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9) 5.4.0 20160609


I think its time to add ubuntu:18.04-x- variants, to get a more recent
toolchain on ubuntu, will do.

Anyway, I'll repeat the tests after applying your patch,
