I've attached a patch (against sbuild git master, also on the cross-build branch of git://git.debian.org/users/rleigh/sbuild.git) which adds --host and --build options and then uses the correct host or build arch in the appropriate places. While I've tested everything still works fine for normal non-cross builds, this will need testing for cross builds to make sure I've not got the host/build arch mixed up in any places (since I will not have picked any error up when they are both the same).
