Moreover, you can check that it will run within the constraints of the ARMhf typical SBC. It has the advantage that it improves the code written. When the first PCs came on the market , you had to be careful to make your coding efficient and lite, then came bloatware and that all went out thru the window, why do something in a few lines of efficient code when you can visually do it taking ten times , often more, space. Its all marketing, the bigger it is the more you can charge, it doesn't matter what the commodity people equate size with value. Take a straw poll on what people consider better value for the same price a piece of software 1.5 GB or one 200MB, they will think the the 1.5GB is better value as they are getting more bytes to the buck. Therefore, IHO, its better to use a QEMU VM on a linux host and know your code works, than to just cross compile and hope it works.
