I'd go and take a look at the existing cross-compilation targets like
musl or avr:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/musl/blob/rawhide/f/musl.spec
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/avr-libc/blob/rawhide/f/avr-libc.spec

That's correct. See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_filesystem_layout
Exceptions

    * Fedora allows cross-compilers to place files in /usr/target.

You can filter them out. There was some discussion recently about
filtering troublesome flags from Fedora default flags:

PS. I'm maintaining two WASM-related packages which I needed to build
some Firefox extensions from source: binaryen and wabt. I'm definitely
not a good maintainer for them as I know next to nothing about WASM.
I'd appreciate a co-maintainer who knows a bit about WASM.
