This is 3 days after the feature was added. This was 14 years ago, so
people might not remember exactly why the change was made. There was
probably no specific reason for this, other than a concern that it might
not work cross, and/or wasn't considered worth the effort to make it
work cross at the time.
It does look like this can work cross, at least for a cross to a linux
target. For a cross to a bare metal target, it should be OK to run the
tests, they will just fail and disable the macros. Someone just needs
write the patches to make it work and test it. You could try submitting
a bug report if you haven't already done so.
