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. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
