XPASS means this test is marked as expected to fail, but it passed.

It's unlikely that it will magically start passing any tests that
fail, but every release will have a certain number of bugs, so whether
it's ok for your use or not depends on whether any of the bugs affect
your usage of the compiler. I.e., it's something for you to decide.
You don't even have to run `make check' before `make install'.
