As evinced by Bugzilla 5091[0], I always run unit tests separately from 
the rest of the program, and so fully support this motion. As others 
have pointed out, there are possible problems with cross-compilation, 
but all in all, I think treating unit tests as a build step rather than 
something to do with execution is a Good Thing™.
