It can be useful to avoid linking to subunit when we are building the check library for the host, e.g. in a buildroot recipe, where the built check is linked into other applications which are used on the host to build images.
These applications are built with the host's cross-compiler and can use the host's pkgconfig to determine if libraries are available. When check is linked against other libraries, it can fail this check for subunit.
