Description
When I build Flang with the following configuration on an AArch64 machine, several tests fail.
```console
$ cmake -G Ninja \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install \
-DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=ON \
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="flang" \
-DLLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON \
-DLLVM_TARGET_TRIPLE_ENV="DEFAULT_TRIPLE" \
-DFLANG_TEST_TARGET_TRIPLE="powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu" \
/path/to/llvm-project/llvm
$ ninja check-flang
...
********************
Failed Tests (2):
Flang :: Driver/emit-asm-from-mlir.mlir
Flang :: Semantics/PowerPC/ppc-vector-types03.f90

```
If I manually set "DEFAULT_TRIPLE" to `powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu`, all tests pass.
```console
$ env DEFAULT_TRIPLE="powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu" ninja check-flang

Research direction
Reproduce the configuration with CMake, FLANG_TEST_TARGET_TRIPLE set to powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu, then run ninja check-flang. Start with the two reported failures, Flang :: Driver/emit-asm-from-mlir.mlir and Flang :: Semantics/PowerPC/ppc-vector-types03.f90, and compare that behavior with DEFAULT_TRIPLE set in the environment. Done means the target-triple configuration makes both tests pass without manually setting DEFAULT_TRIPLE.
