An over-generalization. 'make check' generally doesn't work when
cross-compiling, but there are instances such as compiling 64-bit using
32-bit libraries on a 64-bit machine, or compiling for mingw from cygwin,
or even when compiling where a cross-emulator is also available, can all
run cross-compiled binaries.
That said, your patch is still the correct thing to do.
