AFAICT it's because upstream if cross-compiling it refuses to build target tools and will only build host tools so the test suite can run, but disabling the tests and patching out CXX_FOR_BUILD > we can build target tools.  The downside is that we have no test suite, which is useful (see the ptest class). Perhaps I will add ptest in another patch later. Will need to look into it.
