By the way, I think Alex is working around this in the TCG tests in the 
tests/tcg/Makefile.target:

all:
-include ../../../config-host.mak
-include ../config-$(TARGET).mak

..


In my view we need some solution for at least:

tests/qtest/qmp-cmd-test.c
tests/qtest/boot-serial-test.c
tests/qtest/bios-tables-test.c

which need to behave differently according to whether TCG is available or not 
(--disable-tcg):

For the specific case at hand that I encountered, reopening the issue, 

I need to make tests/qtest/boot-serial-test.c pass different cpu options for 
TCG and KVM,
ie "cortex-a57" for TCG, and "host" for KVM.

Wdyt?

Ciao,
