Basically we don't want to try to support host systems where we
have no access to hardware that will let us compile and run
the test suite, and where there's nobody interacting with us
upstream to help fix issues that are Haiku related.

If there's genuinely a community of Haiku QEMU users out there
who want to help us maintain the support in the QEMU codebase that's
great. What we don't want is to be carrying around code we can't
test and where we don't seem to have anybody using it. (For instance
we're about to drop support for AIX...)

Cross-compilation won't let us run the test suite.
