Really I think we should add a Kconfig item for this and disable the whole

Can we do something based on  CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE vs. adding more Kconfig?

Hi Paul,

I am not sure how this would solve anything. CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE could be empty, but you can still use 'make CROSS_COMPILE=mips-linux-foobar-' or whatever to cross-compile for MIPS. So using this symbol to disable tests does not seem right to me.

Another Kconfig symbol should be more appropriate but as far as I can see MIPS is the only architecture which has this problem (or I may have missed all{yes,mod}config failures from other architectures).

I still think that an "ifndef CONFIG_MIPS" is good enough for now until more architectures suffer from this problem in the future. So far (and looking at the git history of that file) other architectures managed to workaround this.
