With your approach, it will fail if dpkg-cross is installed later than cross-binutils. Maybe better to fix dpkg-cross? Do you have test cases that fail?
Indeed, I finally got to investigate this problem. It concerns alternate libc (uclibc) architectures. For example, we have an uclibc-mipsel toolchain installed (and no glibc/mipsel at the same time) and we try to strip anything (using /usr/share/dpkg-cross/strip). detect_arch() calls file to detect the architecture to be mipsel and not uclibc-mipsel. Since we don't have mipsel-linux-gnu-strip, but only mipsel-linux-uclibc-strip, it defaults to /usr/bin/strip which in turn fails due to unsupported architecture. See the patch I just sent to the list. This also eliminates the need for postinst script for binutils.
