It already does, which is why we don't get failures when building the
host-side software under cygwin. e.g. for devs/eth/synth/ecosynth:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
case "${host}" in
    i[[34567]]86-*-linux-gnu* ) SUPPORTED="yes";;
    * ) SUPPORTED="no"
esac
if test "${SUPPORTED}" = "no" ; then
    AC_MSG_WARN([Synthetic target ethernet support is only available on x86 Linux hosts])
fi   

if test "${SUPPORTED}" = "yes" ; then
...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

However I know that some versions of automake had problems with exec
and data hooks, depending on them even if they were conditionalized
out. I know a possible work-around for that problem which I'll
experiment with.
