The -march= option is perfectly happy to emit code to run on a processor different than the one on which it is being compiled. This results in misdetection of mips features because the test compiles specify that a given extension should be emitted, but this does not check whether or not this corresponds to the subarchitecture targeted in CFLAGS by the rest of the build.
This leads to -march=loongson3a getting appended to CFLAGS, which may conflict with previously specified -march= levels for the build, or other options. Calling make in the test will use whatever CC/CFLAGS are specified in the environment to determine whether the actual compile command line to be used in the build supports these features.
