What's the proper way to handle a target I don't have

Yes, you can build a cross-targeted compiler and should at least get sane
results for e.g. the compile tests, only the execute tests actually
require a real target.
I want those to compile also. Compile and link failures would
matter. Is there a way to make that meaningful?
Well, ...
You could always compile "int main() { abort (); }" and supply it as a
stand-in for a real simulator if there's a hole in the framework needs
plugging :-)
Or one that printed "*** EXIT code 0
... will do for static link errors. If you wanted to check for runtime
dynamic linking errors, perhaps your script could use the cross binutils to
determine whether every undefined symbol is resolved in the libs and output
"*** EXIT code" followed by an indication?
