Not if you intend to ship on multiple platforms. Having to run builds on the native platform or install a separate cross-compilation toolchain is incredibly annoying (and difficult to get right to the point that it's common to not even try). It would be a big usability win if C toolchains could get cross-compilation to Go or Zig levels of "just works".
