build: depends cross-compile using Clang fails #31748
Description
Seems like CMake is getting confused, and trying to build and link a x86_64 binary, when it's meant to be (and thinks it is, according to the configure output) building for aarch64:
make -C depends/ CC=clang CXX=clang++ AR=llvm-ar NM=llvm-nm RANLIB=llvm-ranlib STRIP=llvm-strip NO_QT=1 NO_WALLET=1 NO_USDT=1 NO_ZMQ=1 -j18 HOST=aarch64-linux-gnu
<snip>
copying packages: boost libevent
to: /root/ci_scratch/depends/aarch64-linux-gnu
To build Bitcoin Core with these packages, pass '--toolchain /root/ci_scratch/depends/aarch64-linux-gnu/toolchain.cmake' to the first CMake invocation.
cmake -B build --toolchain /root/ci_scratch/depends/aarch64-linux-gnu/toolchain.cmake
<snip>
Cross compiling ....................... TRUE, for Linux, aarch64
C++ compiler .......................... Clang 18.1.3, /usr/bin/clang++
<snip>
