As far as I know c++-types-check.out is the only top-level test there
might be a reason to make conditional like this, and moving it to a
subdirectory (misc/ unless there's anything obviously better) would
probably be a patch smaller than the comments you're adding about the
issue.
(check-local-headers.out, however, might be trickier to move - it would be
necessary to consider the unresolved issues with build ordering.
begin-end-check would be in between.)
