There is already a mechanism INSANE=true to disable all sanity checks.
I think this option will inevitably introduce confusion.
Perhaps it should be more explicitly named, e.g.
--disable-cross-compilation-sanity-checks
or perhaps introduce a flag
--cross-compile
which indicates that none of the built binaries can be run.
Is there a precedent with other configure scripts?
