[llvm-dev] What is the correct way to cross-compile LLVM and run the (in-tree) tests on a target board?

You mean on the $host, when $build != $host? The only real $target tests 
are for the runtimes.

For libcxx and libcxxabi, there's a TargetExecutor thing that can be 
used to execute tests on a remote target over ssh (or with a script). 
Compiler-rt has a similar thing, with executor scripts, but I don't know 
the details.

As for running the host tests in the lit suite when $host != $build, I 
think copying is sufficient. We cross-build from linux build machines to 
windows+cygwin host machines, and to run the tests we just nfs mount the 
build dir on the windows machine and fire up the testsuite in the 
"normal" way, just on the other machine.
