Bug Description
Hi there,
Trying to build an ubuntu VM within docker from my MacBook Air M1.
The trick is that I'm using a Mac M1 using the ARM architecture and I'm trying to build an amd64 image.
Everything is running fine until it tries to do the grub-install part:
```

```
I'm building something very basic:
```
DIB_RELEASE=focal disk-image-create -a amd64 -o ubuntu-focal.qcow2 vm ubuntu
```
As per the manual, I also installed qemu-user-static needed for the cross compilation.
And indeed `/usr/lib/
As any one already tried to build a image for another architecture here ?
Maybe I'm missing a package, but I don't have really clue about what's missing.

Hi guys,
I made some progress and found a workaround :)
The issue seems to come from the following element: `elements/
As a workaround for now, I simply override the GRUB_OPTS to force a specific target:
```
DIB_RELEASE=focal GRUB_OPTS=
```
And from there, it will compile successfully.
I'm trying to figure out how to adapt the element to automatically select the correct target while doing a cross build.
