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).

Thanks. I'll check to what extent this has bit-rotted and if this facility can be salvaged.
