My decision is: build != host is a supported way to run the
test suite.  However, individual test scripts can drop out with
UNSUPPORTED if they want, with this code:

    if { [is_remote host] } {
	unresolved "This test script does not work on a remote host."
	return -1
    }

The dejagnu documentation for UNRESOLVED says:

    This message is also used for any test that requires human
    intervention because it is beyond the abilities of the testing
    framework.

I will write a doco patch for build != host and post it for
Eli's review.
