Sorry about both of those.  :-)

I believe that some of those tests are only done in the case when we know
we're not cross-compiling.  More precisely, the linkage test is only done
in one or two macros, and those are only called by a single macro, and that
single macro {is,used to be} called in the case of a native build.  I could
be thinking about something else though, and I don't have sources handy.
