The perl test framework will need a way to build a zip file of some sort with all the necessary stuff to run the perl tests on Windows. All we need is for this to not be confused when we add the C tests. The C tests will need such a functionality too. And it should package just the C tests and not the perl tests.
In fact, this should be possible in C as well. Say configure can check if gcc can generate PE executables, and if so, we can compile (in Linux/*BSD/etc) the C tests as PE executable so that we actually run the exact same binary in Wine and Windows.
From the testers POV they should be as easy to run as the Perl tests (if
not easier), and all that is required is a cross-compiling gcc. You don't have that, no big problem, you simply can not package the C tests.
