The headers are tested, but we don't need to generate arch'ed
binary-pkgs to run the testsuite on all arches; running the build
archful and the built 'binary'-pkgs noach'ed should be sufficient in
this case.
Not sure yet how exactly that would work, because it would require a
noarch subpkg to be defined with a different %{name} than the src.rpm
package. Questionable practice. Technically it would work though,
provided that the build system still compares all noarch builds with
eachother in order to detect differences.
