I haven't tried since the meson conversion, but at least a couple of months
ago, it was perfectly fine to run configure with
--target-list=tricore-softmmu and then to run "make check-block" afterwards.

That qemu_arch setting from tests/qemu-iotests/common.config is just used
for the preferred binary, but if it is not available,
tests/qemu-iotests/check falls back to any other qemu-system-xxx binary that
it can find.
