I expect that any buildworld buildkernel that explicitly has TARGET and
TARGET_ARCH set on the command line or in the environment might work,
both cross builds and explicitly set to match the system doing the
builds (explicit but actually native --in other worlds, a limiting
condition of a cross build, a self-hosted cross-style build).

So I'm not sure that universe builds are a sufficient test context for
the specific type of change: You likely need a set of tests that do
not assign TARGET or TARGET_ARCH explicitly but are executed in
environments that look to be native for each example architecture.
You might need to ask folks with systems that you do not have examples
of to do some testing of non-explicit native builds.
