You can request temporary guest access to hosts of various architectures, per https://dsa.debian.org/doc/guest-account/. However, that's somewhat more involved than a sponsored upload. An intermediate option would be to perform a sponsored upload to experimental rigged to accept arbitrary test results and dump them for reference, either to the build log or to a file in some existing binary package (which you could then arrange to download). I suppose you could also test in qemu or the like, either fully or by way of cross-building so that the compiler would at least get to run natively.
