SUBARCH is also used with a special meaning for arch/um where we build
with ARCH=um SUBARCH=x86, either on native (x86) or cross builds.


So doing that would still work in most but not all cases.

What is the reason for using HOSTCC rather than CC anyway? I think
the correct way to do this would be to check if CC is able to link binaries
and disallow the option if it's not.

Don't we already do something like that for tools/testing/selftest which
also needs to generate binaries with CC?
