Where the bug is an --enable-checking failure (tree check, RTL check error
messages mainly) testing against mainline (or a --enable-checking build of
3.3 branch) is necessary - mainline has --enable-checking on by default,
release branches don't. Testing mainline is a good idea anyway, in case
the problem has regressed, though for cross-compiler tests it's more
effort than for native builds for which you just keep several different
compiler version installations about.
