I guess you mean native-ness not of HOSTCC, but what target rootfs will be.
I guess it's probably equal to 32 or 64-bitness of the kernel from CC.

I completely forgot that I need to fix CONFIG_OUTPUT_FORMAT.
On my arm64 I just did
export CONFIG_OUTPUT_FORMAT=elf64-littleaarch64
before doing 'make'.
I can do a hack to extract it from objdump
similar to the hack I do for '-B ...'
Like the patch below...
and it works on x64 too, but I'm not sure about sparc.
