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.)
