Which is pretty much what I (and others) have, except it reports
to me instead of e.g. gcc-regression@.  (Hm, I guess that's a
hint to myself; I wanted to avoid redundant traffic before there
was such a list and the tester is somewhat more mature now.)

Most hosted targets these days have TFmode anyway, so a
mainstream setup wouldn't have helped much for this particular
breakage.

FWIW, currently at regress-4 since a few days; two of the
failures not yet analyzed enough for a PR:
g++.sum g++.dg/lto/20081109
gcc.sum gcc.c-torture/execute/990326-1.c
gfortran.sum gfortran.dg/array_memcpy_3.f90
gfortran.sum gfortran.dg/zero_sized_3.f90
