I think it's simpler and less tedious to just always include test
dependencies in native-inputs, without special-casing cross-
compilation.  WYDT?

Also, being header-only does not per-se mean ‘no building’.  E.g., what
if some of the headers are generated?  I think it's a bit simpler and
less likely to cause trouble to just always run the build phase, even
if sometimes it is a no-op.

Greetings,
Maxime.
