Hmm.  It's almost certain that those in no way depend on 'mips*-*-elf'
specifically.

Those tests probably should be in a more generic location in the
test script (which currently doesn't really exist 8-).

Hmm, OK.  (That countermands your previous desire... presumably based
on the point that branches to externals aren't defined by any known
ABI.)

Well, in that case, the original behaviour is probably the desirable
one...  Changing testcases fraught w/ danger.  8-)
