That would not be appropriate.  The compiler used might emit extra warnings
and thus cause the make to fail.  And even if the compiler used happens to
emit the same warnings as if it had been built from the same sources as the
ones that are being used for the build, rarely -if evver - will a patch
contributer test all cross targets with all the relevant permutations of
build / host type sizes, and therefore cross targets generally build with
a number of warnings.
