libX11 or xproto seem to disable some macros defined by mips toolchain

Ok to be clear, I am cross compiling here (x86_64 host and mips32 target).
If I am not wrong "makekeys" is intended to run on the host, but the
Makefile in
libX11-1.3.4/src/util uses the target CFLAGS. That's why __WORDSIZE is
not defined as it
comes from the compiler (target compiler).
Can someone confirms that "makekeys" is intended to run on the host (not
target) in case
of cross compilation?

Thanks,
