Sorry for the delay: In principile yes but as you've noticed already,
the number of supported drop-in architectures is limited. I had
additional unofficial architectures supported when developing the
mechanism but it wasn't as straight-forward and prone to breakage. Therefore
it did not make it upstream into GnuTLS's build-images.

If I understood the rest of the thread correctly, you've found a
workaround using a cross-package, which seems a better way to go than
fiddling with the unofficial architecture support, particularly if you
do not want to or cannot change the build-images repo.

For reference: This GnuTLS .gitlab-ci.yml has ppc64le support from way
back when: https://gitlab.com/michaelweiser/gnutls/-/blob/debian/.gitlab-ci.yml
and here's the corresponding build-images Dockefile:
https://gitlab.com/michaelweiser/build-images/-/blob/cross/docker-debian-cross/Dockerfile.
It seems, I had ppc64le in there and without much hassle as well. YMMV.
