They're trying to test the assembler the compiler is expected to use.
In case of a Canadian cross, the assembler won't run on the build
machine, but Canadian crosses require a pre-existing compiler that
runs on the build machine and targets the target machine, so that's
the assembler that should be tested in this case.

Right.
