Yes, they are meant to work (and are the sort of thing it would be useful 
to have a buildbot for).  The most obvious use is for running tests on 
static libraries (where there's .S code with conditionals for PIC / 
non-PIC or shared / non-shared, and the non-PIC / non-shared cases get 
very little testing normally).
