For example:
1. A developer uses gcc to cross-compile lldb and run remote testing. 
2. API tests pass because Makefile.rules provides the ability to use different compilers/adjusts all necessary flags.
3. Shell tests fail for some reason (--sysroot is not enough or not provided/some tests use clang-specific flags/etc). The developer thinks that it's sufficient for them to get away with Shell tests running only for the host platform.
4. LLDB_SHELL_TESTS_DISABLE_REMOTE is set to on.
5. Shell tests are compiled and run locally => tests are green.
