I think in itself is not enough, on aarch64.ci.org:
./../configure --disable-docs --disable-tools
--cross-prefix=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
Should only build 32 bit binaries. Which it does:

However make check-tcg fails because:

So possible TCG_TESTS_TARGET needs to be merged with the meson code?
Also do we still use TARGET_DIRS?

[PATCH v2 12/14] meson: Disallow 64-bit on 32-bit TCG emulation
For system mode, we can rarely support the amount of RAM that
the guest requires. Emulation is restricted to round-robin
mode, which solves many of the atomicity issues, but not those
associated with virtio. In any case, round-robin does nothing
to help the speed of emulation.
For user mode, most emulation does not succeed at all. Most
of the time we cannot even load 64-bit non-PIE binaries due
to lack of a 64-bit address space. Threads are run in
parallel, not round-robin, which means that atomicity
is not handled.
