When I was reviewing the test results for csky, I saw this fail in
unittest.exp and fixed it by adding csky to the big if list as you
mentioned above. Somehow I missed that patch when upstreaming the port.
So if you are happy with that change then I will push it.

I have not looked at this code much but your suggestion makes sense to me.
