Ok, I wasn't sure since that was more a bootstrap concern.

Yes, whatever the host arch, the result will be the same for the given
target.

We don't have this indeed. I'll fix that then.

Actually, in practice ATM, mig-i686-gnu:amd64 remains installed from its
amd64 build, and fills the dep of mig-for-host:hurd-i386, and thus it's
not a problem that it is not actually available from the repo any more.
