No need to emulate anything. The container (I personally use Podman for such stuff) is just used to get a disposable Ubuntu build environment.
It still runs the native apt, native compiler, native linker, etc.
It can be useful if you want to make sure all the versions match up.
My usual process:
- Create Ubuntu container with project mounted in it
- Install host tools
- Add foreign architecture
- Install target libraries
- Build
- Store build artifacts in mount
This allows easy incremental builds with a very standardized disposable environment.
