As 32 bit x86 become rarer we are starting to run into problems with
search paths. Although we switched to a Debian container we still
favour the native CC on a Bookworm host. As a result we have a broken
cross compile setup which then fails to build with:

    BUILD   i386-linux-user guest-tests
  In file included from /usr/include/linux/stat.h:5,
                   from /usr/include/bits/statx.h:31,

                   from /home/alex/lsrc/qemu.git/tests/tcg/multiarch/linux/linux-test.c:28:

      5 | #include <asm/types.h>

  compilation terminated.
  make[1]: *** [Makefile:119: linux-test] Error 1
  make: *** [/home/alex/lsrc/qemu.git/tests/Makefile.include:50: build-tcg-tests-i386-linux-user] Error 2

This is likely to affect more and more linux-user builds so wrap the
whole check in a test for softmmu targets (aka bare metal) which don't
worry about such header niceties. This allows us to keep using the
host compiler for softmmu tests and the roms.
