It sounds a lot like a cross-compilation: you're using a particular set
of flags on the host, and you want to use different flags on the target
system.

Even if the architecture is the same, perhaps it makes more sense to
approach this as a cross-compilation situation.  It's a bit heavy-handed
to do it this way, but it also makes sense in a way.
