How do compilers execute constexpr/consteval functions when you are cross-compiling?

I assume that you can not just compile and run for the host platform, since e.g. long can have a different size on the target platform.

Can the compiler just use the type sizes of the target platform, and then execute natively?

Can this problem be solved in different ways?
