On top of #445672 from which this was split

This is a work in progress.
Some of these are likely ghc bugs, others might need extra external-interpreter tweaks, or something else - most need to be looked into to know, and then possibly open upstream issues.

# stdenv.make-derivation sets `doCheck = false` when the build platform can't directly execute the host platform
# which means the `checkPhase` ends up disabled for cross and we need to sneak it back in somehow
# TODO: avoid this workaround - add some sort of doCheckEmulated?

This is pretty hacky, but I don't see another way to run tests by default unless we change make-derivation itself.
We could settle for passthru.tests though
