I've already explained that there are ports in which it can't possibly
work, and on most ports your test is redundant with another test we
already have. You're trying to force the world to accept your notion
that every post must have a relocation that is as wide as a long.
Even though it is possible to adjust the two ports I happened to
choose as counter-examples, and I volunteer to come up with patches to
try to fix them, this doesn't make the testcase correct. It does
contain an invalid assumption, and therefore it should only be applied
to platforms that are known to be able to support the extension you're
testing. Marking it as XFAIL for other platforms is not quite enough,
since what we observe on them is not an expected failure. It's not
even a failure. It's a bug in the testsuite.
