Native in the sense that the CPU itself is not emulated which is the case
when building arm32 packages on arm64. We're also building i386 packages
on amd64 and we used to build powerpc packages on ppc64 (and we will continue
to do that once the move of powerpc to ports has been completed).
I think that building on arm64 after fixing the bug in question is the
way to move forward. I'm surprised the bug itself hasn't been fixed yet,
doesn't speak for ARM.
