Zack,

I think the const-elim-1.c failure (which uses a simple
scan-assembler-not) is a real failure that needs to be examined.
I'm also getting it on mips-sgi-irix6.5:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2003-05/msg00612.html

I think "wrong version" explains the const-elim-2.c problem because it
uses scan-assembler-times which appears to be new.  However, up until
now the version of dejagnu we have in our infrastructure directory
(which includes expect and tcl in it's tarball) worked fine.

This tarball, though very old, is widely used (by me at least :-) and
since you introduced using this new scan feature, IMHO it behooves
upon you to figure out what version(s) are ok and update the
infrastructure directory.  ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/

If publicly released copies of dejagnu et al are sufficient, I'd
appreciate it if you would replace the tarball with a README rather
than simply deleting the tarball.
