Just make sure that the cases where an extra argument is passed to shell 
scripts as a cross testing wrapper are handled correctly.  If that 
argument will be empty, that means ensuring it is quoted on the shell 
script command line in the makefiles, but not quoted when actually used 
within the scripts themselves.  (The cases I spot checked looked OK.)

Plain "make check" should work with no test failures on i686-pc-linux-gnu 
native (with a suitable compiler) so provides a reasonable sanity check 
that this is working.
