Hi Mark,
when you set up an xfail for all targets like this, and it's possible
that the test doesn't fail on every target, it's a good idea to add
a comment saying on what targets the test does fail.
Otherwise, if (say) I discover that it doesn't fail on powerpc,
all I can do is remove the xfail, because I have no idea
which platforms it should be set for.
