Oh, I see ... that's a pity.

And I guess storing short binaries in the repository is also something
we do not want, do we?

... so maybe, one far day in the future, we should detect potential
cross compilers in the configure script, too, and enable those tests if
the matching cross-compiler has been found... sounds like a task for
cold and long winter nights... ;-)
