I honestly don't see the point of supporting runtime tests with cross compilation in the build tool. I mean, the most that the tool can do is give an error message saying the test cannot be run. How will that help? And how does autoconf get away with it? Last I checked, autoconf just gave an error message; but then how do people do cross-compilation if some tests cannot be run? -- Gustavo J.
