why is this needed for the jit build?

at least for stretch, I'd like to avoid any build dependencies on foreign
architectures, for both the native and the cross compiler. It's too new, not
yet completely supported.
this might be a long term goal, however for now I would prefer using the
standalone approach like done in cross-toolchain-base.

I mentioned this to Aurelian too, but I think this would need testing first,
what it will break ... and my guess is that this will be a lot.
