  In the beginning... Cygnus only supported native compilation only, but
all the Unixes were different (AIX, SysV, BSD, etc...) So DejaGnu used
"unix" for native compilation. Then later cross testing supported got
added when Cygnus decided cross compiling was a better business. Anyway,
this isn't really special handling, just an artifact of that transition.
Sorry...

  Somedays I find it hard to believe people still use DejaGnu after all
these decades, but I know that for GCC testing, there's not really a
replacement.
