I was wondering why the (now fixed) c-c++-common/attr-retain-[78].c failures were showing up in the native results for aarch64-linux-gnu but not in the posted cross results. It turns out that .init/ .fini_array support is disabled by default for cross builds, which in turn stops those tests from running.
The test for .init/fini_array support has two parts: one that builds something with the assembler and linker, and another that compiles C code and uses preprocessor macros to test the glibc version. The first test would work with build=host but the second is only safe for build=target. However, AArch64 postdates glibc and binutils support for .init/fini_array by some distance, so it's safe to hard-code the result to "yes" for cross compilers. This fixes the only material difference in auto-host.h between a native and a cross build. Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu, pushed to trunk.
