So system-tarballs can only be built for the system running NixOS
(build==host==target)?

Is there a way we could build it using either cross-compilation or
QEMU system emulation?

I'd really like to have an automated way to bootstrap NixOS for
various architectures. Like a replacement for Buildroot, OpenEmbedded
etc.
