We probably could engineer something like that, but I actually prefer to
keep them as skipped for two reasons:

1. it makes us aware of what tests are not supported rather than having
   them just silently dropped.
2. for cases like this where we do a runtime check, we at least guarantee
   that the tests build for the platform
