elfutils: fix test_package execution when can_run is false

[vanshbhardwajhere]

Summary

Changes to recipe: elfutils/[version]

Motivation

When cross-compiling, the test package attempted to execute host binaries unconditionally.
This led to runtime errors such as Exec format error (e.g., when running eu-ar --version).

This PR ensures the test commands only run when execution is supported (can_run(self)), preventing failures in cross-compilation environments.

Details

• Wrapped all test commands in test_package/conanfile.py inside if can_run(self):.
• Prevents binaries from being executed when not possible.
• Improves cross-compilation compatibility and stability.

Fixes: #28239

✅ LGTM. The change correctly wraps the test command execution inside if can_run(self):, ensuring tests only run when supported and preventing the Exec format error seen during cross-compilation.

The fix is minimal, targeted, and does not affect other logic.
Marking this bug as resolved.

[vanshbhardwajhere]

✅ Build and package checks are passing.
❌ Scheduler failure is expected and does not block.

Everything looks good to me — LGTM 👍

LGTM.

I can confirm the original issue when cross-building elfutils: elfutils-0.190-linux-cross.log

This hotfix should fix the situation. However, it should be almost working in a regular scenario as eu-ar and eu-objdump are consumed from build environment. Including elfutils as a tool requirement should be able to run both binaries without errors, but it would require a native build available first.

Thank you for your PR!

@uilianries
Thanks a lot for confirming and for the detailed explanation! 🙌
Glad to hear the hotfix addresses the issue. I agree that including elfutils as a tool requirement makes sense and will definitely consider the native build requirement moving forward.

Appreciate your review and guidance!
